It probably is making money as a tourist attraction. The bigger problem is that the gas is being burned without giving any benefit (other than tourists). If they extract the gas and burn it for energy, they benefit from it. That is better economically, but it is also better environmentally.
No you are making things up… this is only a tiny fraction of natural gas being extracted and was deemed not worth the investment to extract… It is a practice done all over the world, only weird thing about this is that it became a large sinkhole.
Gas seeps through the dirt, even if they extinguished the fire, methane is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming. That's why it's left burning. They need to find a way to stop the gas from leaking out or maybe extract the gas for proper use.
Extinguish the flames and put a dome over it connected to a big pipe. Free fuel. If there isn't a city nearby that can use it there soon will be. Won't take long.
Excellent idea. I remember reading a couple of year ago that Kazakhstani people were demonstrating in the streets because their fuel (I guess electricity) bills had doubled overnight. I know it's a different country, but it's obviously an important issue in the region. Natural resources like that could benefit the people, could they not?
this sounds like the other genius idea of the scientist that said "hey let us dump thousands of rubber tires into the ocean, it will help create reef. lol

But there will be a domestic tourism industry. So stop being sarcastic. People can't help where they are born, or usually how they are governed and what their economy and infrastructure are like. They make the best of what they have.
First of all it's the 2nd world, but also what do you propose they do instead? It was an accident. Burning it is MUCH better than not burning it, and nobody knows how to seal it yet.
Turkmenistan richest country in the world. energy 100% free 4 the people. Sorry wikipedia wrong luxemberg or qatar, dubai is not richest country in the world.
i dont know about that. However, under the assumption that CO2 causes global warming, volcanoes naturally produce way more CO2 than any amount of chinese coal power plants. Raising taxes in canada isnt going to change the nature of a volcano.
@@maciejnowak666 that's just not true. Like you straight up are just wrong. Like I can't even argue with that in the same way I can't argue with someone who says that the moon is bigger than the sun. It's just not true
You don't want to just put it out, which is what lots of water would do, because then methane gas unburned will just float into the atmosphere. And methane gas is like 80x worse of a greenhouse gas than CO2 (burnt methane) is
Its ok, the gates of hell are opening up..since prophecies are coming to pass and we are living in the end of days. Jesus is coming very soon to rapture those who Believe in His Finished work at the cross. Praise His Holy Name 🙏✝
The evil you know who is everywhere. I'm so thankful I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 I seriously pray that whomsoever will, will do the same!! Choose every lasting life in the Lord God Almighty people before it's too late please!! 🙏 Amen and Amen!
You should make it a vacation spot for Klaus Schwab and the entire World Economic Forum.
Are you implying they aren't the ones who lit it on fire and have a secret tunnel entrance underneath it?
Yes, toss any who have ever attended inside.
Great idea
why not redirect the heat and generate electricity?
Filthy rich
Why don’t they drag a huge boiler tank over it, produce steam, spin a turbine, and generate electricity.
nice man, pretty smart
cause that would cost a lot, and would result in a really inefficient power plant
@@daydodog exactly, I am from Turkmenistan ))
filthy rich they have more gas than entire north america
Something along those lines world be very intelligent...better yet...make robots run it!!!!
Go Turkmenistan. This would be a great movie and that is from Turkmenistan
They are still going to burn the gas whether it's sealed or not, the only problem is that it does not make Turkmenistan any money in its current state
It probably is making money as a tourist attraction.

1:05
Just woa, that’s deep
imagine having a funding to close it and build a foundation and equipment to capture the natural gas, then in just a few months the gas runs out. 😂
Probably the biggest natural gas pocket ever and they’re just letting it burn?
Yes, hahahahaha. That is so funny
No you are making things up… this is only a tiny fraction of natural gas being extracted and was deemed not worth the investment to extract… It is a practice done all over the world, only weird thing about this is that it became a large sinkhole.
Looks pretty amazing
Trudeau and Putin should both fight in the pit and the loser gets sealed in the pit.
Uh oh 🇹🇲
Or we can toss all commies like yourself in there for making everything political. Like good little politburo officers you are.
Our lovely PM Trudeau will with all due respect….Will Get his a** handed to him
Trudeau will lose the match against Putin and then Trudeau will be stock in hell for good
I get it because they are both leaders of communist countries
If one person took an old shovel and filled up the hole with dirt it would have been plugged in less than 25 years.
Gas seeps through the dirt, even if they extinguished the fire, methane is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming. That's why it's left burning. They need to find a way to stop the gas from leaking out or maybe extract the gas for proper use.
But methane would still leak
They’ve obviously tried to bury it. That crater used to be way deeper
Took them 50 years to make up their mind
They know exactly what they are doing. Take a look around Turkmenistan, it's very new.
After Taco Bell be like
we have 2 major pits like this burning. How do they affect CO2 around the world?
that thing is less than a single airport for one day. you have no idea about scale lol.
@@5GTrevor Really? How can we have any idea about scale? Can you be specific? Any links?
Go on, say where the fire is.
I don't understand your joke.
@@mcfly7 *and I don't understand your face. Get the hell out of here Satan*
Why is it not put to better use, this is absolute waste of natural resource...ridiculous
Why the hell is that place not a power plant?????
Why don’t they just fill it up with dirt?
Does it ever rain here??
Do you know there is a deserted town in USA that has been smouldering for decades? It's called Centralia, I think in NJ or NY? Surely it rains there!
I believe it was gas with no fire initially...until...
It's well documented the fire was started by the Russian geologists to burn the methane, no need for belief, it's a fact.
What a genius
And some people are worried about the flames out of petrochemical chimney flares.
1:46 This guy looked like he was about to try and jump it.
wouldnt want to breathe that stuff in lol

they shouldnt do that. that thing is awesome

Thank you.

Put same gravel in top in any hole .no holes is safe .cover them up.
That was the reason for climate change not our gas emission from the cars !
Nice video😊

Goes to show, there's plenty of gas

They should build a new Russian Parliament inside there
know one jumped this yet on a dirt bike?
Wow...I cannot even use a plastic bag in North America without being eco-shamed.
But it is okay to do whatever you want in the third world.....
How dare you! 🙃
Thought about that.
Third World? There whole capital is marble buildings and 0 dirty cars 😂. Looks better than any American city.
First of all it's the 2nd world, but also what do you propose they do instead? It was an accident. Burning it is MUCH better than not burning it, and nobody knows how to seal it yet.
Who wants to close this disposal area for rings of power? Sauron?
It's fire in the hole 🕳
Why though ?
Pollution?
I have some of georges pictures! Amazing photographer!
Soo cool
I don't think they should play around with it. Who knows what could happen. FAAFO
They closing the best sacrifice/execution pit!? (Yeah yeah, 1 year late i know)
Update: they gave up
Whoa! Don't stop me now!
10 years later....
Any bets on this happening in Texas?
Reversed volcano
Bit underwhelming if you ask me
سبحان الله العظيم واتوب اليه
Why they didnt cover it up a year or two after they saw it wont stop
OMG yeah kya hai 😮😮
Unbelievable looks like hell

Let’s go Brandon
they dont want other country to invest that natural gas because they know they might be the next target of uncle sam

Sorry wikipedia wrong luxemberg or qatar, dubai is not richest country in the world.
Boron and sand...5000 tons will seal it ;)
Should start charging the gates of hell a Carbon tax for all them emissions its been releasing.
Can they put Putin in there before they close it up?
With the tarantula Zelensky first.
@@esterbaque7757 Go someplace quiet and think about life in 1950s Russia cuz that's your future.
"...its still bad." yet no explanation. There is no reason to close it.
Just leave it alone.
mr. beast can get rid of the fire
I'm on a roll!
Et ils sont content de polluer
😂
Most of your "why" questions are answered by profit $$. Modern world mechanics.
Do you think these rare fire pit , has any percent to do with climate change? Just asking 🙃 I don't know.👍
what
I've made bigger bon fires bigger then the flames coming out of that crater. That release is insignificant.
i dont know about that. However, under the assumption that CO2 causes global warming, volcanoes naturally produce way more CO2 than any amount of chinese coal power plants. Raising taxes in canada isnt going to change the nature of a volcano.
@@maciejnowak666 Canada emits about 2.4 times the CO2 then all the volcanos in the world.

I feel like this isn’t the time for this
So the cause of global warming?
a factor, not the sole cause...
Nah, would have hardly contributed anything.

Wut??
Makes a good swinging chicken
It's man-made
what happens if you will it with water ? will the Methan gas burn on the Surface ? ^^
Gas will just continue to come out cause more burning
