Then you probably never heard of the Texaco drilling disaster in 1980. They were starting a new well in Lake Peigneur. Diamond Crystal Salt Company was operating a salt mine in that area where part of the mine was under the lake. Texaco drilled into the mine and drained the lake.
Those videos were posted here quite a while back. I ended up going down a rabbit hole on it. Very interesting.

At the time it happened I was taking PETE 2020 at LSU. The instructor was a retired geologist from Texaco. Right after it happened someone in class asked him about it and he got all offended. Some of us came away thinking he had done some of the geology work on the well
