Here is a very recent paper describing three worst of the worst situations, where a casing was improperly cemented. Even then it is really unclear how bad the contamination was. Keep in mind there are over a million fracked wells in the USA.

Can you light your tap water on fire, or do you refuse to live where this "safe" fracking occurs?

Read this review. I know it seems like methane in the water is caused by fracking but there are good reasons to believe that it isn’t. https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev-envir...

How commonly do you think that flammable tap water issue occurs outside of anti-fracking propaganda films? Also you're aware that it is an occasionally natural phenomenon, right?

Well water is often naturally pretty nasty even without fracking. I am generally anti-fracking, but take those videos you’ve seen with a grain of salt. Those things happened routinely even before the fracking boom.

There are better criticisms of fracking like the higher rates of disease around well sites, and improper dumping of waste.
