Water continued to erupt from the ground near the German state of Hesse's Ministry of Finance in Wiesbaden on Friday. Workers drilling for geothermal energy on Thursday accidently unleashed the powerful water spill. The water stood under high pressure approximately 130 meters (427 feet) below ground when disturbed by the drilling. At times, up to 6,000 liters (1,585 gallons) of water per minute poured from the hole.
