The Du'tch government on Thursday decided to end natural gas extraction at the Groningen gas field, which is one of the world's largest natural gas reserves.
Extraction at the lucrative field supplies gas to millions of homes and businesses in the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Germany but has also led to small earthquakes in the region that have damaged thousands of homes.
The low-magnitude quakes are said to be caused by huge air pockets left underground when the gas is removed.

There is a video that I can't post. I would be flipping pissed if I had a house that had been in my family 6 generations that I couldn't live in and the company gave me a container to live in.
