Reading up about earthquakes and natural disasters, I stumbled upon this random natural disaster that I have never heard of before and has only been witnessed twice.

Would be a horrible way to go.

People will think I'm completely nuts - I realise such natural occurances have happened from the beginning of time.....but over the last few centuries, they are becoming more frequent.

I truly do believe that it's Nature's way of controlling population and damage that humans are causing. It's Nature's way of trying to maintain ecologicial and natural balance - throught the overpopulation and damage that humans cause and continue to cause.

I know.. it's a bizarre belief but it's one I do feel holds true.

What utter, utter tripe.

I must be learning from you, most of what I see on here from you is complete sh!ite.

Dezzy, I think there's a lot of truth in your own thoughts.

Why waste myself on a big brother forum.

I get what you mean, I kind of have the same sort of beliefs, like I think that homosexuality in humans is a form of natural population control, prevent more humans from being born etc...

I'm not sure I'd agree with you to that extent but I've always believed that the earth can cool and heat itself up and that climate change is nothing but that. Then again my knowledge of the subject is terrible so I'm probably wrong but that's what I think.

Ive heard of this before.
Perhaps the reason why its never witnessed is because gas is invisible.

'Witnessed' as in seen to have killed people.

We did the case study of Lake Nyos so many times

Really? I'd never heard of them until yesterday. That would be weird seeing a tsunami in a lake and then being killed by the poisonus water or the poisonus gases it releases.

Yeah, I think we've done it in 4th 5th L6th & U6th :/

And it wasn't a tsunami, There was a landslide into the lake which disturbed the stored CO2, it rose to the surface of the lake and because it's denser than Oxygen it doesn't rise at all, which is why all the people died

Oh I don't know too much about them, but it says that Tsunami's can occur depending.


How weird though, apparently it took out nearly a whole village. Such a silent killer and seeing everyone suffocate to death around you without any knowledge as to why.

It happened at night, so it'll have been kinda painless, I think

I don't know if that's good or not

Did the limnic eruption happen immediately after the landslide? Because if so, then surely people woke up due to the landslide? How horrific though...

Not sure, I think it may have been a little while after.
