one of the most amazing things I've seen!

"I thought it was the End Of The World."

How many times have we heard that before?

Wow...

Damn...
More evidence: God doesn't want people living in Louisiana.
(By the way-- I am a Katrina survivor)

Think about it though, these guys might not of had a clue what was going on, or how much water this thing could suck down, until they knew the salt mines were being filled, this must have been like "we popped the Earth!"

That is crazy. The history channel has some good stuff.

This needs a hundred.....There is a bed and breakfast near the parish, bout 10 miles from where this happened, that has a great little addition to bed and back-down, a film of this, and a museum-type room commemorating....

I was there with a hydrographic survey crew about ten years ago -- we were testing out a new sidescan sonar array. There is some interesting features under the lake, including scores of old tree stumps and "the pit", which is supposedly filled with an oil derrick, barges, etc. The sonar couldn't penetrate the surface of the pit, because of the salinity, however, so we couldn't see much.
