Engineers drilling in Turkmenistan in 1971 were startled to find ground collapsing around them. A 200' crater opened up that was filled with methane. Worried about the safety of the nearby village the engineers set it alight thinking it would burn out in a few days. It is still alight 4 decades later!
why don't they put it out an harvest the natural gas?
