- treyd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18I started watching the video and got so into it I forgot what site I had found it on. I thought it was cool and was in the mind to submit it to digg when I realized I had just found it on digg. I need sleep.

(at risk of getting dugg down.) - falstaff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Headline in the year 6127...
Archaeologists, on uncovering ancient vessels 1300 feet underground: WTF? - f8pc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Who would build a mine under a LAKE?
- RocketSeason, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9That is absolutely amazing!
I love how some of the locals treat the disaster: We've got good fishing now! - PhilM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Maybe one of these would finally get the grass stains out of my shirt if I chuck in a few washing tablets with it.

My personal favorite is the story of Centralia, Penn, where an underground fire has been burning for the last 45 years: http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=479 - ij00mini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Although I might get dugg down, I just want to say that this Engineering Disaster is a disaster of Lack of Communcation. The Salt Mine Company and the Drilling company failed to communicate. So it's not one guy's fault who is "sure as hell gonna get fired," but the fault of every company involved.

- EriktheBard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0"Who would build a mine under a LAKE?"
Um, welcome to Cleveland Ohio. Luckily no one is doing any drilling. Which would be bad. - Wisgary, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1"Intense sucking power of the..."
