Lake Peigneur Fishing
Imagine fishing on a calm lake, and suddenly the water starts spinning. In 1980, that is exactly what happened at Lake Peigneur. Due to a coordinate confusion between an oil rig and a salt mine, the lake pulled the plug on itself. It created the largest man-made whirlpool in history, swallowing barges, trees, and the drilling rig itself. It is a terrifying reminder that "Engineering" isn't just about building things up. Sometimes, it's about accidentally tearing the world down. #History #Enginee

Lake Peigneur in Louisiana disappeared in 1980 after engineers miscalculated the location of a salt mine when they were trying to find oil. Drilling a hole into the salt mine drained the whole lake. Watch more Massive Engineering Mistakes on discovery : https://bit.ly/37r0gEz | Love Science
