Gas drilling suspended after quake


	Quote: Shale gas test drilling in Lancashire has been suspended following an earthquake on the Fylde coast. A spokeswoman for Cuadrilla, the company carrying out the tests, said drilling was suspended as a precaution after Friday's 1.5 magnitude quake. "No fracking will be resumed until the data has been interpreted by ourselves in consultations with the British Geological Survey (BGS)," she added.

Outside of BSG and a BBC Micro Game, I had no idea the word frack had a meaning.

And in the US it is also a swear word but related to gas drilling. The numbers of health problems reported because of Fracking is increasing.
