A Mind-blowing Mistake: Lake Peigneur Disaster

  • Summary

  • In 1980, a small, quiet lake in Louisiana experienced the strangest spectacle in US natural history. The lake seemed to turn evil: capsizing tugboats, ripping parking lots from the shoreline, pulling 11 oil barges beneath the surface, shooting a 400 foot geyser into the sky, erecting a giant waterfall where the canal once stood. To a local fisherman who witnessed it, it seemed like "the end of the world."

    Tune in to find out what happened, what caused it, and who was to blame.
