I was an Intern mining engineer at Belle Isle when this disaster happened. Due to my shift, I missed the disaster by 2 days. After the mined cleared, I was part of the team to guide MSHA inspectors to the deepest part of the mine looking for methane. The below is from Perplexity. The Belle Isle Salt Mine explosion occurred on June 8, 1979, near Franklin, Louisiana. A scheduled blast triggered a massive outburst of approximately 15,750 tons of salt and flammable gases, including methane. This led to a secondary gas explosion about 10 minutes later, producing hurricane-like winds that destroyed ventilation controls and equipment underground. At the time, 22 miners were in the mine; 17 were rescued, but five tragically lost their lives.
@@1e2werks15 thank you for sharing with us. I really appreciate you giving us a history lesson we otherwise would never have known thanks again and may the Lord continue to bless you Texas
Money will always succeed in burying stories and history. It's critical that we share information and document things for the future. I didn't know about this but also the Tulsa massacre.
Mount Saint Helens exploded in May of 1980, this happened in November of 1980. Its pretty easy to see why people would be making a comparison to the eruption only 6 months after the eruption. Look at the photos and video that does exist, it is properly cataclysmic, for the immediate vicinity.
I grew up in the Deep South. How did I not know about salt domes?! Sinkholes, yes. Always thought those salt caves were in Michigan! Love your content!
Homer Bernice Smith was a great uncle of mine. 13:30 Thanks for bringing light to something not many people know about. The story I was told is that Homer went back down in the mine after the explosion to find his brother. He didn’t know it. It his brother made it out, and he got trapped down there. I’m not an expert on the subject, that’s just what my grandpa told me.
I believe that all of the ones that popped back up were barges not boats. Being barges explains a lot, since they lack the heavy machinery of a powered vessel.
They have hundreds of houses that the company had to buy out the people in the houses just sit there rotten because they don’t know if it’s gonna grow and suck them down the hole
I believe there is huge salt mines under Lake Michigan. Could you imagine what would happen if a hole popped in the bottom of that lake plus all the damage that the salt would doto lakes superior, Huron and Lake Erie
I looked into it a bit and the salt mine underneath the lakes are mostly lake Erie and a little bit of Huron. Currently there is no oil mining in/on the great lakes; but a great deal of other types of mining. I'd say it's low on my list of things to worry about, but it's certainly disastrous to imagine
There's a lot of copper mines , around * in one of the great lakes , were one of those to flood , it would be a problem for the miners , though any towns around , should be safer than those down in the southern states , with salt mines , filled with salt & what else ? ? ?
The sinkhole that ate Louisiana. Sounds like a great title for a ‘b’ disaster/horror film. Great video my friend! Never heard this in school, even after graduating and later in college. Learn something new everyday. 😀

🤔 Louisiana Dept. of Fish and Game should be able to tell you what kind of fish (Fresh or Saltwater) survive in the lake today. (Maybe even Sharks could be there now) 😳.
I get these companies generate jobs, but it's amazing to me that it's still a for-profit company owned by very wealthy individuals, and the excess profits don't go to taxes. Natural resources should always be utilized as taxes. People shouldn't own these resources because they have a extraction company like texaco, or the salt mine owners. These resources are owned by the taxpayers and should be utilized as revenue.
9:45 - I can’t help but look at that chimney and think it’s like the lake giving a middle finger salute saying “Take this ! You’re not going to get rid of me that easily” ! 🤣🤪🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Of course today it’s just telling Trump to ‘Do one’ !
Im pretty sure there actually is minimal footage of this. It shows trees and ground being sucked into the hole. Or was that a different event in lousiana?
@ShawnCrigger FR. Too bad cameras weren't more widespread then. Have you heard of the Mississippi river earthquakes that happened in the early 1800s? I would kill for some footage of that. Apparently similar stuff with barges and sink holes and water falls happened but Xs 100 compared to this.
What about the Aral Sea, one of the largest lakes in the world? It just completely dried up.Alot of lakes have been losing water, and no one has really noticed it. Another example is in the Sahara Desert, which used to be a giant sea too, around the beginning of recorded history. A quick search for "disappearing lake" shows the extent of this very serious problem. It's not isolated at all anymore. BTW.. I live about a block away from a small dissapeared lake, in Missouri.
The Aral Sea did not disappear without anyone knowing about it. The Soviet government wanted more agricultural land to increase food production. Therefore, they diverted many of the rivers that flowed into the Aral Sea to develop agricultural land. After a while, they saw that the water level of the Aral Sea was dropping. So they had to make a choice. Divert the rivers back into the Aral Sea and lose agricultural production. Since they were not convinced that the oil production in and around the Aral Sea would be severely reduced by an empty Aral Sea, they chose not to send the water to the Aral Sea. The Aral Sea still exists, but the water level is so low that it is almost unnavigable.
@@Omnitroner Most of the sea has no water at all, just one small brakish section. Now that they have seen the impact, why don't they diveert just a partial section back? It seems kind of important.
@@Jiszmo I am not Russian. I think it is a choice between food production and restoring the Aral Sea. I do know that there was a lively fishing industry when the Aral Sea was still full of water. So the food production element is not 100 percent valid. Maybe the fishermen got a job in oil production. I don't know. It is up to the Russians to decide what they want.
@@Omnitroner True, or at least the ones in power, who are actually far from that area. Maybe that was part of the problem. This started when the Soviets were in power over that region. Nowadays I think it like Kazakastan and Uzbekistan. Either way, it was so far from Moscow, all the way across Siberia. I just watched a documentary about China, and how they have built waterways all across China, with the ultimate goal of bringing water even to the desert regions. It was really amazing. They even have made a highway through the shifting sands desert. They also put huge solar farms in the desert. With these new types f technologies and government initiatives, I think they are kind of a role model on environmental projects. So far nothing is being diminished by these initiatives. Let's hope it stays that way. As far as te Aral Sea, if it was me, I'd divert a stream or something back to it. lol At least try to plan a little ahead for the future generations.
People will never win against big money. I think water is more important to sustain life but we need gas and oil to make life easier. We need to figure out what's more important. These scientists and experts think they have all the answers and nothing bad can happen....proven wrong so many times. But they cant hear anything beyond their own thoughts on this.
Electrolysis is the simple answer! INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES PRODUCE WATER AS THEIR ONLY EMISSION WHEN FUELED BY AN HHO MIXTURE OBTAINED THROUGH ELECTROLYSIS! This fuel production method predates the invention of gasoline so.. SOME GROUP OF ASSHOLES SOMEWHERE in THE 1800's decided that ruining the planet's atmosphere, causing health problems for people on a global scale and killing wildlife through habitat obliteration was a better choice than utilizing WATER to power transportation and industrial needs... YUP, SOUNDS LIKE SATAN's WORK INDEED!! EVIL PHLACKING PEOPLE SUCK!
Humanity vs societal progress. Humanity is free but progress comes at a cost. We eat those costs slowly to progress. Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew.
MSHA violations are very common for mines since MSHA is financed by the fines the issue, they have a vested interest to issue the fines. The question, is whether any of those related to what caused the collapse. We had a $25,000.00 budget item to cover MSHA fines every year. These are very minor issues, like water bottles in the floor of your truck.
The only fish that may have been able to survive fresh to salt water is Poecilia sphenops (Molly fish) doesn’t live there. Also I honestly don’t think even salt water fish could survive in salt mines. The salinity would be too high for even them. Edit: not only does the Molly not live in Louisiana they also would be unlikely to survive the drastic change that quickly.
I found this episode to be especially interesting because I used to do seismic land serving in Louisiana and the early 2000s. We were serving for salt and oil and gas but this situation right here was never explained to us. I never knew anything like this ever happened. Kind of blows my mind that’s something like this could happen. At our safety briefings we got a crash course on flesh eating bacteria in the water and timber rattlers with neurotoxin fun stuff.
Nooo! I loved the show LOST. But the disappointment at the end was way too real. I invested way too much. It broke me. I havent been that invested in a show since. Yes still a great watch. Kept you at the edge all the time.
Foo dat ! You fd my property - you buy me (and everybody else here a new land far away from this ecological disaster (no damned environmental park memory center !). You pay to buy land and build my new home - that you destroyed !
Ah yes the salt mine. Can we get a top 5 deepest mines in the world with a side of its this deep this wide and dug up this much rock and has been around for xyz then how hot it gets down there how long left then move on 😂. Sorry i sound like a mom giving you a grocery list😂😂😂.
It happened again a few years ago. There's video of tall trees dropping straight down in a lake or bayou out of the blue. Salt mine or salt dome situation also. I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with drilling for oil. It seems to happen here in South Louisiana pretty often. Just scary to see.

This is like 4 miles from my house, sure some inhabitants numbers might of changed but the lake has largely bounced back. We catch all the same fish as before.
Now I have an idea why brine pools exist in some fresh water lakes with unexplored underwater caves hidden by brine. All u need to do is fast forward time and there u go.
Its not really surprising tho. If anyone has watched the original dirty dancing movie. Well that beautiful large lake just magically started losing water. They tried to have divers and equipment patch the holes but couldn't. The lake completely emptied and even a dead body was found but they assume it was a old drowning. They said it would take like 10 years to fill back up with rain water. Well its prolly been 10-15 years and its prolly like 5% filled the last time i checked. I mean considering we grew up visiting the lake as kids even with field trips. The lake was huge and very deep. I personally think the caves and mines was a big part of it. One of the largest active coal mines was really close and guess why they finally shut it down few years back? Because it was flooding and they couldn't stop it. They installed giant pumps to pump the mines out 24-7 all year. The pumps couldn't even keep up despite constant running and i think as of now 10 floors is flooded and they just gotta let it happen. Its a coal mine and lime plant so they was storing waste in the mines to keep it dry but now had to try and remove what they could. Kinda scary to be honest because i feel like its gonna start causing sinkholes.
Ok, if salt domes float up to the surface, and everything falls to the surface, is it the surface that is gravitational? Or, is it just density is the cause of why things rise or fall?
I got to understand that the oil was in a hole somewhere and if you got somewhere within that hole you going with it if the surface above that hole is not thick enough to withstand the more than 40 billion tons it will probably happen to go with the rest of whatever went in that hole
I disagree. It should be called the Gulf of America. Sides America surrounds most of the Gulf. And it does get sickening that America always comes second to everything. The gulf of America I like the sound of that.
@DarinReese-wp2cm mush minds. Look at a freaking map, all the way back to the 1600s.

Hey keep an eye out for those leopards stalking your house, FACE... It's what's for dinner😂😂
I’d say that lake must be getting saltier from the flooded mine. I bet the exact fish living there will change over time, like what happened at the sultan sea.
Calm down there Geneva Suggestions. 13 Acres Area, 13 feet deep. Anything less is a pond, anything more is a lake. Even in America's violently vengeful hat.

So they keep dumping in these salt domes that keep breaking open and contaminating the area. Cool
🤮🤮🤮
There were reports at the time that several boats popped back up OUT of the hole; not iin good condition however.
I believe that all of the ones that popped back up were barges not boats.
Being barges explains a lot, since they lack the heavy machinery of a powered vessel.
He said barges popped back out.
They have hundreds of houses that the company had to buy out the people in the houses just sit there rotten because they don’t know if it’s gonna grow and suck them down the hole

One of the largest active coal mines was really close and guess why they finally shut it down few years back? Because it was flooding and they couldn't stop it. They installed giant pumps to pump the mines out 24-7 all year. The pumps couldn't even keep up despite constant running and i think as of now 10 floors is flooded and they just gotta let it happen. Its a coal mine and lime plant so they was storing waste in the mines to keep it dry but now had to try and remove what they could. Kinda scary to be honest because i feel like its gonna start causing sinkholes.
Didn't you do a vid on this before?
only for the 1st incident. This vid scope is much bigger.
@ … legit. Thanks
Lost is not an 'old show'!
I know, right?!? I was already an adult when that show began… and I am now suddenly feeling scarily old!
Thank you I never heard of slat drones before
Ok, if salt domes float up to the surface, and everything falls to the surface, is it the surface that is gravitational?
Or, is it just density is the cause of why things rise or fall?
I like your channel bro!
I live two hours away and I have never heard of this lake I’m only fifteen but this is crazy
I just want to c land and water cleaned and filtered when their finished using it and ready to give it back to the people
.....why don't they just use the lake water instead of water from the aquifer?
I got to understand that the oil was in a hole somewhere and if you got somewhere within that hole you going with it if the surface above that hole is not thick enough to withstand the more than 40 billion tons it will probably happen to go with the rest of whatever went in that hole
"Gulf of Mexico" Damn right my guy
…Mexico is IN North America, makes more sense. Personally, I miss Persia
I disagree. It should be called the Gulf of America. Sides America surrounds most of the Gulf. And it does get sickening that America always comes second to everything. The gulf of America I like the sound of that.
@DarinReese-wp2cm mush minds.
Look at a freaking map, all the way back to the 1600s. Y'all are easily diverted from important stuff, like your precious eggs that have gone up 35%, or that you lost your health care, or drug negotiations so your paying $500-$600 again for insulin with the stroke of a pen 😂
Not concerned about passports y'all never leave your neighborhood anyway.
Hey keep an eye out for those leopards stalking your house, FACE... It's what's for dinner😂😂
You pronounced the name of the lake correct. The city is pronounced- Dell come.
I’m local
You say coffee but you don't drink it
Sounds like another disaster.
The person who owns that Chimney should claim the lake now lol
That’s the Gulf of America now Poncho.
I’d say that lake must be getting saltier from the flooded mine. I bet the exact fish living there will change over time, like what happened at the sultan sea.
Let's get one thing straight, a body of water that is 2 square miles is not a lake.....at least not in Canada!!! That's just a pond.
Calm down there Geneva Suggestions. 13 Acres Area, 13 feet deep. Anything less is a pond, anything more is a lake. Even in America's violently vengeful hat.
Why not suggest watching Gilligan's isle you old man.
Gulf of America
Get a grip...... Just because the "dump" says so does not make it so. He has no authority to change it
Is that oil rig a sponsor for your channel? I noticed it has big WA on it.😅😅
What lake is this, where is it? It sounds like you are saying Lake Manure.
13:00 how can that even be considered!
Wait... I'm still brewing my coffee. Gimme two minutes. 😋 😂
