The Doors to Hell Are Open
April 27th, 2008
Near the small town of Darvaz in Uzbekistan, “The Door to Hell” was opened 35 years ago.
While drilling for gas, geologists found an underground cavern which swallowed up all the equipment. No one dared to go into the carvern as it was filled with gas. So they did the only “logical” thing… They set fire to the gas so no posionous fumes would escape.
35 years later and it is still burning.
No one knows how much gas has been wasted, but over 35 years there has been a hell of a lot.
