The Vortex in Lake Peigneur

In the 1980s, a gulf oil drilling company was drilling a hole in a lake in Louisiana and just happened to drill into a big salt mine that was underneath. This basically opened a vortex that caused the lake to entirely empty into the mine, sucked in a large area of land around the lake, and make the gulf flow north onto land for two days in a giant 150 ft waterfall (the photo above). That would be a thing to see.
