dude under the lake ... ( 5 months ago by TEEHfan101)

dude under the lake was a salt mine thats what made it salty.
the water from the gulf didn't make it salty

Dude if you listen ... ( 5 months ago by plidder)

Dude if you listen to the commentator at 4:17 into the video, he says the canal from the Gulf of Mexico flowed for 2 days and filled the lake. Knowing that the Gulf of Mexico contains salt water (ocean), and the lake now contains water from the ocean,leads me to believe this is why the wateris salty.

oh now i get it, ... ( 5 months ago by TEEHfan101)

oh now i get it, sry i didn't really hear him say dat part,
ok thanks for pointing that out.
that was pretty crazy having all that water drain down into the mine.
but do u know how they stoped the water in the canal from going into the hole to? or did they full the hold back???

The water ... ( 5 months ago by plidder)

The water eventually stopped flowing from the Gulf of Mexico, because the mine had fill with water. The water equalized.

so the hold from ... ( 5 months ago by TEEHfan101)

so the hold from the lake to the mine was still there????? just filled up???

You gotta love the guy's thoughts the disaster that nearly killed him: "I don't care for it."

Had it not been a ... ( 4 months ago by lexiconby2)

Had it not been a salt mine (where water couldn't dissolve the mine), it wouldn't have been this spectacular.
The part about the 400foot gyser of water that shot out of the mine shaft...it's just too funny in a really messed up way...thinking about all the dead fish:(

Whoops! Didn't ... ( 4 months ago by ryanthai2)

Whoops! Didn't these guys know they were close to a salt mine.

it might been the ... ( 4 months ago by edromanovich)

it might been the salt that maide it salty anyways because when fresh water flows into oceans it does not mix right away but stays on top. so it might be still the salt but i doubt it.

Pretty dumb. Who ... ( 2 months ago by TruthSurge)

Pretty dumb. Who thinks you can carve out a big hole under the ground and expect it to stay a hole with a huge lake on top? Humans screwing up the planet with no forethought...

It is dumb, but ... ( 2 months ago by Frenzyk1lla)

It is dumb, but only because the people who were drilling ought to have checked if there were hazards beneath; clearly that didn't happen here. After all, the diameter of the drill bit was only 14", the odds of drilling into a mine are pretty astronomical. This is an ecological disaster; these seem pretty common these days, like the Great Pacific Landfill for example.

I believe this was ... ( 2 months ago by TruthSurge)

I believe this was dumbness squared. 1) Drilling over a mine or cave-like structure W/O knowing it (should have used sonar or something to test first 2) Drilling in a lake OVER said cave-like structure It's like all these radioactive storage bins underground. Sweet. when one breaks... don't cry over the two-headed kids being born. :)

A disaster of even ... ( 2 months ago by glazinq)

A disaster of even greater magnitude is happening right now in East Java, Indonesia. Again because of drilling. Dumb fucks drilled into a mountain (volcano) releasing a bazzilion tons of hot mud which has been swallowing the surrounding countryside for 3 years now and shows no sign of stopping.

There's no way they couldn't have known that salt mine was there.. It's all recorded in city maps.. they'd have to know about this..
What a strange situation, though. So funny, pillaging two resources from the earth, in the same place at the same time, caused them to lose all of it.

The 13 Illuminati ... ( 1 day ago by deagla)

The 13 Illuminati blueblood families that stem from ancient Sumer and Babylon are being controlled by reptilian entities. The Rothschilds are one of the most secretive family of which Hitler was a part of..2009 has been predicted by web-bots to be a year of transformation so get ready for more staged terror, food shortages, and the start of WW3. Following the exhaustion of humanity there will be something so terrifying(staged alien invasion with the Draco saviours). Google "Albert Pike letter"!
