Russian villagers baffled by missing lake

MOSCOW - A Russian village was left baffled on Thursday after its lake disappeared overnight.

NTV television showed pictures of a giant muddy hole bathed in summer sun, while fishermen from the village of Bolotnikovo looked on disconsolately.

“It is very dangerous. If a person had been in this disaster, he would have had almost no chance of survival. The trees flew downwards, under the ground,” said Dmitry Zaitsev, a local Emergencies Ministry official interviewed by the channel.

Officials in Nizhegorodskaya region, on the Volga river east of Moscow, said water in the lake might have been sucked down into an underground water-course or cave system, but some villagers had more sinister explanations.

“I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us,” said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house.

Same story, different source, different telling (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4566355.stm).

Well, of course it is the Americans.

1. Pretend we are busy with Iraq and Afghanistan.

2. Um, drain a lake in a small village in Russia.

3. Take over the world!

Hrm... I seem to have forgotten something. :?:

The jig is up Jorddyn!

They're on to you!

It was a pretty freaky thing though. Imagine something like that happening under one of our sizable recreation filled lakes in the southwest.

Where do you think the water for those lakes in the DRY southwest comes from?

Never put much thought into it, but I guess I thought I had heard/read/seen on tv that most were artificially created through the placement of dams.

If you say I was mistaken, then okie doke.

Definately some freaky stuff. Sinkholes used to ocurr frequently until it was mandated that they be refilled with salt water or frac mud.

We recently had an old underground salt dome that was used to store natural gas explode between Houston and Beaumont. It was one of three in the area. Just goes to show you that you really dont know whats going on underneath you with all the advancements in technology of drilling (horizontal/diagonal) and such.
