Cameroonian here from the North West Region who grew up with fantastical tales about what caused the Nyos Disaster. It is so shocking to hear about how many ticking time bombs are just sitting underneath lakes in inhabited areas in Cameroon. Also not even a little shocking to hear the Cameroonian government in it's ever terrifying ineptitude and corrupt incompetence has done nothing to address any of this. It is sad to know that all those people living there in rural areas are still in danger and can't do much about it. Thanks for the video.
Don't mind me. My comments keep disappearing. Just checking if this one gets deleted too. If it does, it'll probably reappear several weeks from now and make me look like a crazy person
Sometimes Simons sponsors turn up at the wrong (or right) time. I remember one video was on a famine stricken country, and after saying X thousands were starving, he immediately went into a sponsorship advert for Magic Spoon
I mean, if you look at the whole event objectively, A lake suddenly turns RED and a chilly breeze emanating from it kills every living being miles around it. If that's not a sign of supernatural wrath I don't know what is. Without the scientific knowledge and research it would 100% become a true legend and part of a religion lol
Rotten eggs smell indicates the presence of Hydrogen Sulphide, NOT Sulphur Dioxide. Not knowing the difference may well kill you. Just thought Simon and Daven ought to know.
Hydrogen Sulphide being on the bottom of lakes, that erupt/expand/overflow somehow, sending this poison gas to towns below/around are called Canfield Lakes. They are not just at the equator, although some are. One is in British Columbia, Canada.
This event is also known as "lake overturn" This particular event was supposedly caused by a large landslide from a large land mass that was sheered off that is obvious in the pics you have of the lake. Also, with Lake Kivu, they have been bleeding off methane for over 2 decades and using it for power and at one point t a beer plant was using it to make their wort/mash.

I was in So Cal in 2001 during a massive wildfire. The first day, the smoke was so thick I couldn't see the sun at noon. For a week, I'd clean an inch of ash off my car every morning. A friend asked me to drive her around so she could get pictures. One spot, I saw a mountain on fire. A mountain. Top to bottom, side to side, whole thing, on fire. It beggars description.
I didn't think that 1986, positive feedback loop and a tasteless and odorless killer would be linked to ANOTHER dissaster, but here we are. Man, 1986 really hated humanity huh.
Bedsores don't occur that quickly. They typically require weeks to form... certainly not hours. (If so, people would wake up after 8 hours of sleep with bedsores).
Depends on the person, area, and a persons mobility. In nursing we adjust bed bound patients every 2h, specifically because they actually can develop pressure wounds (aka bed sores) in under a day. Primarily over bone-y areas, thin/fragile skin, and not much fatty tissue - think spine, tailbone, elbows, hips, and heals. The average/healthy person isn’t as susceptible because they don’t have those higher risk factors, and that people will unconsciously offload those pressure points. But if they were unable to offload those pressure points, like being in an unresponsive/coma-esque state or very limited mobility/strength, they would absolutely end up getting pressure wounds within days. Especially if they were unable to eat/drink they would likely start to rapidly lose those protective layers of tissue, and dehydrated skin becoming way less elastic. All this to say, pressure wounds happen way quicker than most people think. So if you, or someone you’re taking care of, become bed bound (even temporarily) it is incredibly important to offload pressure points at minimum every 2h ☺️
They can absolutely start forming in hours. Mainly in people who are immobile and can't turn over or shift positions, especially if they are skinny or in positions that specifically press bones close to the skin. If you were skinny and somehow slept completely still all night without padding then yes I would expect some breakdown to begin.
Exactly. Anoxic bacteria that are found in deep dark lakes usually produce hydrogen sulfide which does smell like rotten eggs. Sulphur Dioxide is also usually an oxidised solid at ambient temperature, not a gas.
@@mpazinambao2938 yeah well unfortunately that isn't the "burnt matches" smell it produces...... It's that rotten egg smell that is produced. In Australia all of our coastal wetlands make the rotten egg smell during spring high and low tides due to the anoxic sediment layers becoming exposed to oxidation during the lowest tide. Stupid moon! It's all your fault we stink
This is seriously my favorite natural disaster! Its amazing, I've read about each case dozens of times Theres a lot of weird looks when I ask people what their favorite natural disaster is...
@@nyxspiritsong5557 I should clarify, I just find the physics and dynamics to be fascinating... For anyone curious I highly recommend reading the first hand accounts. They are as tragic as they are interesting
Love the video as usual. I get that you need to get right into the content for engagement reasons but the sponsor spots on vids like these feel jarring. 'what caused all these deaths? - squarespace!'
He was god damn lucky he lived above the lakes general-elevation. I've checked how high you'd need to be in the carbon dioxide's path, and we're talking something approaching a small skyscraper.
It's a beautiful place. One of my first roads builts was the road leading up to the lake for the degassing project. There's is war ravaging the north west and therefore no degassing. If it goes on it might happen all over again. Plus the wall can collapse at any time drowning villages and towns even to neighbouring Nigeria
Only if it goes up real big time: i.e. VEI 7+ Even then, upper and lower North Island won't get too much ash. We'll still get a bloody good shake up though.
We've had lahars before from the crater lake, once my OH only just got through before it unleashed - and they assisted another motorist with a breakdown, giving them a lift up to Turangi where they could get some help. That early warning system worked, gave time to get some space from the flow.
@AndrewHalliwell thanks for the info! I keep clicking on these interesting videos/channels and all of a sudden Simon pops on the screen. This has gotta be the sixth one of found so far, and I've loved every one!
The ad placement was perfect for this video 😂 Such a horrible story being interrupted with; What had caused this horrifying catastrophe? TODAYS SPONSOR IS
The college I went to Berry College in Rome Georgia has a revisor that has a fence all around it. There were so many drownings that had to erect a fence. Some people who knew they were good swimmers in good shape would get by the fence and some of these didn't make it out of the lake either. Finally the college told people two things, one that there was a particular type of weed growing on the bottom on the lake that was very easy to become entangled in and two, anyone getting caught over the fence that survived would be expelled from the college.
What you didn’t mention is that when you breathe in concentrated CO2, it quickly dissolves into the moisture in your nose, mouth and lungs to create a burning layer of carbonic acid that will make you choke and induce more mucous as your body tries to flush the acid out. So although there is no odor, the burning sensation would be unmistakable that something was definitely wrong with the air you were breathing. The symptoms would have been short lived due as you had pointed out to passing out from the lack of oxygen.
Mother nature has always been a phyiso parent. The scary part is the possibility a large pocket from under the ocean bed could release a carbon cloud that could wipe out every living thing on earth in minutes.
Hey, quick comment and question. The second image you have at the beginning of the video looks like Lake Atitlan in Guatemala (I lived there for 7 years) and was wondering if the same thing could happen there? Is there a way I can find out? I have lots of friends there and the people that were born there are just lovely. The lake has a fairly large population around it and I'd hate for something to happen around there.
So I checked and it is a crater/caldera lake so it's possible, I guess. It does have active volcanoes on the edge of it, so it might be venting that way instead of building up in the water.
One of the worst ways to die. The feeling of breathing in CO2 is like breathing in fire. The ones that died definitely didn't die instantly. They would have woke up feeling fire in their lungs before passing back out from asphyxiation.
Tanzania is pronounced Tan'-zuh-NEE-uh, the first syllable having a weaker accent than the third. For those who don't know, this African nation was created when Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged in 1964. I never got over the disappointment of having those names go out of common usage.
Simon, please do your ad reads either at the very beginning, or the very end of the video. Jumping to it in the middle of the story is just annoying. Anyone that is actually gonna watch the ad will watch it no matter where you put it. And those of us that fast forward thru them no longer have to break up the flow of the story for an ad for a product we've heard a million times. Other than that, another awesome video! Thank you good sir! 💯🤓
Of course the first idea is bombing, to address an issue that builds up over very long time, and also the source of the problem being magma, what could possibly go wrong? And then, calcium hydroxide, that will react fast, and strongly, possibly causing a limnic eruption if there's enough CO2 for that to happen. Calcium carbonate is practically inert in pH levels 7.5 and up, it would react slowly with the carbonic acid, and produce mostly calcium bicarbonate. Not perfect total solution, but a lot better than bombing, or using calcium hydroxide.
I've been thinking that too! I'm like "That is not how 'Tanzania' is pronounced" but he's done it in other videos a couple of times before, and now I find myself questioning if I've been the one saying it wrong all along... 😦
Hey, small thing, but I believe Lake Monoun is said like Mo-NOON, like the time 1200. The ‘ou’ sounds like that in most names I’ve run across in the same area (Douala, Cameroun itself, Bafoussam. Actually, the -aou- sounds waaaaaay more like the -ou- in English noun. (see: Yaoundé, N’gaoundéré) The u sound at the very end is just a touch more pronounced, at least to my filthy yankee ears 😃 I believe the -ou- is a holdover from French colonization, some other previously French colonies have retained that spelling in place names at least (Segou in Mail, Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso). Anyway, I won’t ramble more or I’ll be here all day. Limnic eruptions are fucking cool. I hope we don’t see Kivu decide to turn over and gas that entire tri border meeting point there…though, if there’s a way to put a quick stop to M23 or FDLR or whoever we are blaming for the problems plaguing eastern DRC for decades…if they’re not up in the mountains, the lake is right there and all 👀 Should’ve let Lumumba try to do his job in DRC. That man was a visionary. But nah, he sided with the wrong white people and the west got scared and now we’re here. 🤡
Is this a repost or remake of an older video? I swear the intro hut story has been read by Simon before. I'm not against revisiting previous topics, just would like to know.
im quite impressed with the audio quality you achieve. just got good planar magnetic headphones and you have almost no background noise so i can listen much quieter and hear everything you say clearly. damn good job. and as usual fantastic content.
"No one knows exactly what set off the bomb..." Yes they do. It was a landslide. There are photos of it. You used one at 5:10. I am amazed; This is one of the worst researched episodes that Simon has presented.
