I'm not sure what I was watching there. Was that a sink hole or something forming under the water?

It was a sinkhole.  It looked like somebody just flushed the swamp!  I'm curious as to why the oil barriers were there. ???

I'm wondering how long the guy stood there with the camera. The sinking trees were scary.

http://www.weather.com/news/louisiana-sinkhole-collapses-20130822
The sinkhole, discovered Aug. 3, 2012, resulted from a collapsed underground salt dome cavern about 40 miles south of Baton Rouge. After oil and natural gas came oozing up and acres of the swampland liquefied into muck, the community's 350 residents were advised to evacuate.
A salt dome is a large, naturally occurring underground salt deposit. Companies drill on the dome's outskirts to create caverns in which to extract brine that is used in the petrochemical refining process, or for storage of such things as hydrocarbons. Officials say a cavern was being mined too close to the edge of the Napoleon Salt Dome, which caused the "unprecedented" side wall collapse.

Agreed. I thought he was in a boat. When I saw he was on land I thought, screw that!  Forget Louisiana and their disappearing trees. I'm staying in Wisconsin with the mosquitos and snow.

This one's impressive. I'd seen it on TV a while back. It explains how everything happened.

Yeah.  That was scary.  I want to know if it was a planned event because the photographer and the guys with him seemed to be expecting it.

Pat and I visited and went down into that Jefferson Island Salt Mine in 1963.  It was really beautiful down there with everything being pure white with the lights shinning.  When that drilling incident happened, it was hard for us to imagine how the lake just disappeared into the mine.

To add to Detroit's woes, there is a 1,500 acre salt mine under the city. Bye-bye Detroit ?  I worked just a few blocks from Tiger Stadium in the 70's....Say your prayers........
