Was taking a long over due nose in to other countries a little while ago (maybe an hour), and I stumbled apon something I had not seen before, I’ve seen B-19 bombers in greenland, DC-20’s in alaska……but a fuck off hole in Turkmenistan ON FIRE…….
Derweze – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
interesting shit this.
if I find anything else wierd and wonderful I’ll post its coordinates.
February 9, 2012 at 12:05 am #1249075I wonder… if you threw an egg in there, would it cook before it hit the bottom? The answer to that is, probably.

hmm, I think it would even if you left it by the side of the pit to be honest. The heat of the country is enough, but to have a 40 year old natural gas rupture, the heat would most likely be 1000*c in the core of the pit, maybe 300*c-700*c on the outer……
February 9, 2012 at 1:38 am #1249060Unfortunately the amount of CO and other poison gases in that region would most likely kill anyone before they had the chance to eat the egg. There is often more unwanted stuff in there than just methane (you wouldn’t want this raw gas coming through the gas pipe at home – otherwise folk would live around there as although hot in summer it actually gets cold in winter and it would be a free source of heat.
The scientists in that country and perhaps some others (possibly the Chinese and Japanese) are trying to work out some way of putting it out or reducing the fire as it stops them getting at the rest of the useful gas (as any attempt to drill near there will go kaboomski) which they could sell to colder areas.

Its a tourist site, granted if you can stand the pungent scent of sulphur then its worth seeing.
Correction for myself: B29 flying fortress not a B19……
February 9, 2012 at 2:08 am #1249061That scent also contains hydrogen sulphide which isn’t good for you. There is a point at which it is unsafe to approach (or the govt would have got it put out by now!) although letting the gas flow would also create contamination hazards…
I would expect tourists are kept within a safe zone (similar to those who visit what remains of Chernobyl and the surrounding villages which is still highly radioactive…)

Its a great holiday destination for people you don’t like..
yeah, the place is weird, I’ve seen pics of people right up close to it. and there kinda nonchalant towards to sulphur and other really nice gases……..strange……
February 9, 2012 at 2:56 am #1249062there’s a certain amount of time you can be exposed to the stuff – depends on a lot of factors but long term exposure is really bad…

true, I think you may agree with me, but daytime TV is far worse than hanging around a massive gas pit in Turkmenistan. I once watch daytime Television……now all me hopes and dreams are gone……..:cry:
February 9, 2012 at 9:49 am #1249072Two families from my town on Jeremy Kyle in a week, walking around Banbury is like watching daytime TV.

Doesn’t surprise me- Isn’t Jerermy Kyle from Reading and the show made by staff from what used to be Central but relocated to Manchester / Leeds or maybe LWT studios or whatever remains of ITV?
February 9, 2012 at 3:54 pm #1249073That gas deposit picture looks sick.
