Oil Driller Breaches Salt Mine Under Louisana Lake

This is how you flush an entire lake down a hole. An exploratory drilling exercise miscalculates the location of a salt mine while drilling through a lake bed. The mine is hit, and the oil derek, the mine, the lake, and a few barges are a total loss.

Bob, sit down, it is time for your employee review. You are always on time, coworkers like you but about your triangulation skills ... I want you to brush up a bit for our next drilling project.

@theshyguitarist - Actually, yes they did. They paid a settlement of $32 mil to the Diamond Crystal company and $12.8 mil to Live Oak Gardens. At least according to Wikipedia. :)
