First Known Earth Fart Discovered (and Ignited); Gas Burns for Decades

DARVAZ’ HELLFIRE
Soviets found an earth fart and lit it.
Uzbekistan, Ukraine – (Strutts News Services)
According to various reports, a massive gas vent was discovered and subsequently ignited in 1973 by Soviet geologists in search of other stuff. Some sources indicate that the global flatulence may have been ignited earlier than was initially reported. From the amazing website English Russian:
“This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.”
Local immigrant resident Joey “Boris” Catawba summed it up. “I’ve lived here for almost 10 years. Everything always smells like burnt cheese and vinegar. Someone should do something. This really sucks.”
