100-foot deep Andes lake disappears

I could swear something like this has happen before where like a salt vain (what ever its called) opened up and drained a whole lake somewhere like Arizona.

Yes the one in Louisiana was man made due to faulty surveying and an oil rig on the lake drilling into a salt mine.

Another one which is mind baffling is the New Straitsville, Ohio coal mine fire that started in 1884 when a labor dispute at the mine ended with a group of miners sending a burning coal car into the mine. It burns TO THIS DAY!!! 117 years. That is absolutely mind numbing to me! It is said that some areas of forest grow green grass year round even under ice storm conditions due to the heat underground.

The lake at the resort where the movie Dirty Dancing was filmed does rise and fall according to yearly precipitation amounts. Stayed there one weekend when the lake was down several years ago. Still very beautiful scenery.

The lake draining in Louisiana was on a science channel show. The film footage was astonishing to see the lake disappearing down into the salt mine.

 

we have 'magic sands' where beaches have sand one day, and not the next.

 

Maybe it's being held for ransom. Those South American terrorists are pretty sneaky!....:major Anyone wanna buy a cheap lake?

 

the link is to a dam in England where the film THE DAM BUSTERS was filmed it also has the distinction ov having a complete village submerged in it and in the summer when i was a kid you could see the houses when the leval was low,
