How did Lake Nyos suddenly kill 1,700 people?
- jnoller 16y agoThis is why the TSA checks you for lakes when you go through airport security, in addition to fully body scans and taking off your shoes. Don't let the lakes win.

- kingofspain 16y agoRemember reading about limnic lakes a few years back. Crazy stuff. I also recall from even earlier a story about a beach bursting into flames, the scientific rationale given for why this occurred begged the question why didn't happen all the effing time? Been unable to find it online though so now I'm worried it maybe shouldve been filed under Fortean Bollocks.
