Missing Lake

by Eko Prasetyo @ 12:25 PM MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian village was left baffled Thursday after its lake disappeared overnight. NTV television showed pictures of a giant muddy hole bathed in summer sun, while fishermen from the village of Bolotnikovo looked on disconsolately. "It is very dangerous. If a person had been in this disaster, he would have had almost no chance of survival. The trees flew downwards, under the ground," said Dmitry Zaitsev, a local Emergencies Ministry official interviewed by the channel. Officials in Nizhegorodskaya region, on the Volga river east of Moscow, said water in the lake might have been sucked down into an underground water-course or cave system, but some villagers had more sinister explanations. "I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us," said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house. Wow !! A Lake disappeared overnight !! Probably those weird sci-fi movies have crossed their fictional boundaries and ventured into our fabric of reality? Or probably the great earthquakes that have been hitting Southwest of Sumatra Island have been causing major shifts in the deep earth formations? Or just like the woman said "America has finally got to us" Being single Superpower is not good..... | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | |
