A disaster of even greater magnitude is happening right now in East Java, Indonesia. Again because of drilling. Dumb fucks drilled into a mountain (volcano) releasing a bazzilion tons of hot mud which has been swallowing the surrounding countryside for 3 years now and shows no sign of stopping.

I believe this was dumbness squared. 1) Drilling over a mine or cave-like structure W/O knowing it (should have used sonar or something to test first2) Drilling in a lake OVER said cave-like structureIt's like all these radioactive storage bins underground. Sweet. when one breaks... don't cry over the two-headed kids being born. :)

It is dumb, but only because the people who were drilling ought to have checked if there were hazards beneath; clearly that didn't happen here. After all, the diameter of the drill bit was only 14", the odds of drilling into a mine are pretty astronomical. This is an ecological disaster; these seem pretty common these days, like the Great Pacific Landfill for example.

Pretty dumb. Who thinks you can carve out a big hole under the ground and expect it to stay a hole with a huge lake on top? Humans screwing up the planet with no forethought...
