Is there any way you that you can tell me how to see this rare and devastating disaster on video about lake peigneur

For whatever it's worth, I live less than 10 miles from Lake Peigneur.

Very cool. It would have been utterly GREAT to see this on video tape. I would love to have seen entire barges sucked underground.

Something a little like this happened about five years ago, in Chicago. Someone working on the Chicago River punched a whole in the bottom and flooded the tunnels of a mini-railroad system. Which in turn flooded a bunch of skyscrapers' basements and utility tunnels. Nobody got sucked down there, though, and Chicago wasn't invaded by an army of displaced Trogs or C.H.U.D.s., so it was just an unpleasant mess.
