ВРАТА В АД! Кратер Дарваза — дыра в земле, что ГОРИТ ПОЛВЕКА!

In the middle of the Karakum Desert, a hole in the ground has been burning for over half a century—the Darvaza gas crater, known the world over as the "Gates of Hell." Seventy meters of flame, a roar like a jet engine, and temperatures at the bottom of the crater are nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius. Soviet geologists set it ablaze, expecting the gas to burn out in a couple of weeks, but it's still burning. This video chronicles the crater in its entirety: from the night the earth collapsed beneath the drilling rig to the only person to descend inside, the unknown bacteria from the bottom, the hidden methane threat, and how the "Gates of Hell" is finally being extinguished. 13 terrifying secrets of the planet's most famous man-made fire.
