About this episode

When you think of deadly natural disasters, you probably think of earthquakes. Tsunamis. Volcanoes. Hurricanes.Things that at least have the ability to look dangerous.But what if I told you that one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history came from...A lake. Not a giant, stormy lake. Not a lake filled with deadly piranhas or some sort of mutant alligators. Just a quiet lake sitting peacefully existing in the mountains of Africa. No warning. No explosion. No earthquake or giant wave.  Just innocent people going to bed one night, and some waking up the next morning to the terrible sight of what silently  happened the night before.Today on The Missing Chapter, we're talking about a bizarre, scientific phenomena that terrified entire communities, baffled scientists, and forced engineers to solve a problem that sounds like it belongs in a science-fiction movie.Because sometimes the craziest things in history are the things that look completely harmless.  Welcome to the Missing Chapter.Want some Missing Chapter merchandise?
