It looked like a vision of hell, if hell was a golf course.
Muddy bubbling water churning several feet in the air at a golf course Wednesday in Lampton Shores, Ont., was clearly no regular water hazard.
Jamie Reitknecht, who posted the dramatic spectacle on YouTube, said it “smelled like propane.”
He wasn't far off. Police said a gas pocket under the pond next to Indian Hills Golf Club caused the frightening scene, and that it was a natural event rather than a leak.
They closed the road to all but local traffic until the thing ran its course.
The Ministry of Natural Resources dispatched a team of investigators to the scene to make sure there was no harm to passersby.
Reitknecht said the gas was even visible in the air.
“Right above the green, there's a haze that looks like a gas,” he said in the video.

Father... The day has been disturbed!

Stupid climate change and fracking.

 

[lone wolf]

No fracking ... but it is on the edge of oil country

I demand to know when the IPCC will recognize the golf industry as a major hazard to the environment and a contributor of carbon and other toxins.

This event alone has pushed Canada into being one of the world's worst offenders of polluting Gaia.

Light it up! CH4 is worse than CO2 after burning it.

Sitting on top of a Supervolcano.. FOUR!!! There goes Ontario.. shucks :lol:

Seriously, could it be a busted gas line somewhere??

 

[captain morgan]

Pretty unlikely.

 

[B00Mer]

Pretty unlikely.

Which one, the Super Volcano or the busted gas line :lol:

You're just no fun today..

 

[petros]

Both.

There must be municipal water otherwise locals would be complaining of CH4 in their water supply BUT how would they blame fracking?

Lambton/Sarnia s over an old oil and hgasd field. You still see the donkeys pumping away. One of these nearby towns is called "Petrolia" which is clue number one. I even ran into some drillers near there a few years back.

Funny

Yes,yes. It's a 150 year old oilfield. It's a miracle that it is still producing anything at all.

Why? the Earth is continuously producing more.

how many times you people need to be told to not feed the aquatic life beans and taters. Do some damn research

 

[petros]

Beavers aren't ecofriendly.

At the rate that we're using it? There is an endless supply of the stuff?

 

[Walter]

At the rate that we're using it? There is an endless supply of the stuff?

Yup. And they keep finding more.

 

[Curious Cdn]

Yup. And they keep finding more.

...endless ...AND they keep finding more!

By George, I think that you have invented perpetual motion!
