How a drilling error swallowed an entire lake
On November 20, 1980, Lake Peigneur began draining into the earth. An oil drilling operation run by Texaco accidentally punctured a massive underground salt mine. Water rushed downward, creating a giant vortex that swallowed drilling rigs, barges, trees, and nearby land. Remarkably, no people were killed. The lake itself was forever transformed.
