Post Missing: one Russian lake
2:00 PM May 20

A Russian village has been left baffled after its lake disappeared overnight.

NTV television has shown pictures of a giant muddy hole bathed in summer sun, while fishermen from the village of Bolotnikovo look on disconsolately.

Dmitry Zaitsev, a local Emergencies Ministry official, says trees also disappeared under the ground as the lake emptied near the Volga river, east of Moscow.

"It is very dangerous. If a person had been in this disaster, he would have had almost no chance of survival," he said.

He says water in the lake might have been sucked into an underground water-course or cave system but some villagers have more sinister explanations.

One older woman has told NTV she believes the Americans have finally been able to hit them where it hurts.

"I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us," she said as she sat on the ground outside her house.

Thinking about this post, hasn't one of the inland seas in Russia dried out too although admittedly not as dramatically as this?

true, it could be that the bottom of the lake is made from a type of rock (permiable) this allows water to flow through them this ofcourse can create "weathering" in the rocks is could hav weakened them to the point that the lake "imploded" from below and water drained into an underground cave?

I admit, I stole it. What can I say? I needed a cheap way to water my grass and keep my pond full
