Louisiana CURIO • #1 OF 2
The Catastrophic Lake Peigneur Whirlpool of 1980
When an oil rig drilling in Lake Peigneur accidentally breached a salt mine 1,300 feet below, the resulting vortex drained the entire lake into the cavern, swallowing 11 barges and reversing the flow of the Delcambre Canal without a single fatality.
