Lake Pulls a Disappearing Act in Russia

By Kim Murphy Times Staff Writer Fri May 27, 7:55 AM ET

BOLOTNIKOVO, Russia — For as long as anyone can remember, White Lake had been the local swimming and fishing hole. Deep, cold, fed by underwater springs, the lake regularly gave up carp as fat as birch trees. A kid could cannonball into its depths from the overhanging willows and never hit bottom.

And then one recent morning, the lake was simply gone.

"It's pretty scary to even be here. You have to understand, it was like there was a pump somewhere underground. A gaping sinkhole emerged, and everything was flushed down like a toilet," said another Emergency Situations Ministry investigator, Vladimir Gryasnov. "If anyone had been near the thing when it happened, they would have had no chance of surviving."

We've got to stop them now before it's too late!

I liked this quote the best:

My friend said, 'You're lying.' I said, 'Of course I'm a liar, but not this time.' "

I hate Mole People even more than the other people I don't like very much.

This happened near St. Louis last year. It was in one of those ritzy high end areas. Everyone saw thier properties values drop because all thier "lakefront" property was gone overnight.


They are going to patch the "hole", and fill the lake up again. Rich bastards.
