Save the lake people

I'm not a huge environmentalist or anything, but I know enough to realize that the loss resulting from engineering disasters isn't always measured in human causalties. Here's a posted link I read today and a some selected comments about it.

Link: The World's Weirdest Engineering Disaster

Description: Didn’t anyone ever tell you that salt mines, shallow lakes and deep-earth drills shouldn ’t mix? What started as a seemingly minor miscalculation resulted in a billion-gallon flood, unbelievable property damage and the upheaval of an entire ecosystem.

[Basically, the fuck up drained the lake into mine shafts below. Comments anyone?]

next came jb0nd38372, who said: "Read the article again, nobody died."

to which ElAssoWipo replied: "I don't think he was referring to the 'lake people'."

LOL. Well, hey, it's easy to forget the fish. After all, "it's OK to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings."
