On November 20 1980 a Texaco oil rig was conducting exploratory drilling on Lake Peigneur in Iberia Parish Louisiana. A simple miscalculation caused the 14 inch drill bit to pierce the roof of the Diamond Crystal Salt Mine located 1300 feet below the lakebed. What began as a small leak quickly turned into a catastrophic 1300 foot deep sinkhole as fresh water dissolved the salt pillars supporting the mine. The resulting quarter mile wide whirlpool was so powerful it swallowed the entire drilling

🚨 THE LAKE THAT FLUSHED ITSELF 🚨 It sounds like a movie script, but this actually happened in Louisiana in 1980. This is the story of Lake Peigneur. It started as a calm, shallow lake, popular for fishing. On the surface, a Texaco oil rig was drilling for oil. Below the surface, unbeknownst to them, was a massive salt mine with miners working deep underground. Because of a tiny calculation error—a mistake in coordinate conversion—the drill bit didn’t hit oil. It punctured the roof of the salt

Better Humans Lab on Instagram: "Lake Peigneur in Louisiana was 10 feet deep. Underneath it was a salt mine. In 1980, a Texaco oil rig crew made a tiny calculation error and drilled a 14-inch hole in the wrong spot. They punctured the mine. The entire lake drained into the hole like a bathtub, creating a whirlpool so powerful it sucked in the drilling rig, 11 barges, and 65 acres of forest. The suction was so violent it actually reversed the flow of a river from the Gulf of Mexico, turning a fre
