Lake Monoun Zoom-in
|
On August 8, 1984 37 people from the villages surrounding Lake Monoun, Cameroon, Africa were found mysteriously dead. First reports pointed to man made terrorist activity but it soon became clear that this was a natural event; somehow or other the lake had exploded, releasing huge volumes of a poisonous, invisible gas.
