Because the water ... ( 5 months ago by rthinds)
Because the water won't drain from the lake unless there is a place for it to go. The lake didn't drain until they punctured the salt mine (which they weren't supposed to do). Up until that point, the lake wasn't draining as the water had no place to go.

Wow, that's scary. Its so lucky no one died. I can't imagine the environmental affects this has created. Its even more terrifying to think about than the situation that happened.

heh...some of the footage seems to be taken directly (i.e., the same consecutive series of scenes) from a previous video--one I used to show in class.

I think Mr. Hanson thinks everyone watching is an idiot..."water flowing through salt tends to dissolve the salt" kind of obvious the salinity will increase too O.o
If you watch the ... ( 4 months ago by plidder)
If you watch the video again, the commentator tells you that the canal flowed into the Gulf of Mexico. The current in the canal reversed due to the suction of the newly created waterfall, and the salt water from the Gulf of Mexico flowed into the lake, which made it salty.
He was talking ... ( 4 months ago by mayishi)
He was talking about how the water flowed into the mine and dissolved the rocks in there. Increase in salinity IS the increase in salt content...the Gulf of Mexico was talked about later.

dude under the lake was a salt mine thats what made it salty.
the water from the gulf didn't make it salty
Dude if you listen ... ( 2 months ago by plidder)
Dude if you listen to the commentator at 4:17 into the video, he says the canal from the Gulf of Mexico flowed for 2 days and filled the lake. Knowing that the Gulf of Mexico contains salt water (ocean), and the lake now contains water from the ocean,leads me to believe this is why the wateris salty.

oh now i get it, sry i didn't really hear him say dat part,
ok thanks for pointing that out.
that was pretty crazy having all that water drain down into the mine.
but do u know how they stoped the water in the canal from going into the hole to?
or did they full the hold back???
The water ... ( 2 months ago by plidder)
The water eventually stopped flowing from the Gulf of Mexico, because the mine had fill with water. The water equalized.
so the hold from ... ( 2 months ago by TEEHfan101)
so the hold from the lake to the mine was still there????? just filled up???

Had it not been a salt mine (where water couldn't dissolve the mine), it wouldn't have been this spectacular.
The part about the 400foot gyser of water that shot out of the mine shaft...it's just too funny in a really messed up way...thinking about all the dead fish:(

it might been the salt that maide it salty anyways because when fresh water flows into oceans it does not mix right away but stays on top. so it might be still the salt but i doubt it.
