The Disappearing Lake Peigneur.

See what happens when an oil rig accidentally drilled down into a salt mine underneat the lake (who pulled out the drain plug?): Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] | Lake Peigneur [wiki] - via A Welsh View


Man, this is amazing...I was too young to remember it when it happened, but that's probably for the best. At an impressionable six years of age, it would have given me a paralyzing fear of lakes!

The ultimate topper is the fact that the only casualties were three dogs and a lake full of freshwater fish. But something tells me Texaco got a lot more cautious in their drilling after such a whopper of a bungle!
