Hydrofracking visit

On July 16, 2011, a group of people from Oneida County, New York drove to Bradford County, Pennsylvania to see the process of Hydrofracking for themselves. The trip was organized by Hydro Relief Web. Three of the people who attended (Toshia Hance, Bonnie Jones Reynolds, and Carleton Corey) were later interviewed by Reporter/Anchor Gary Liberatore from WKTV news Channel 2. View an extended form of their interview here:
