520 |a "Home to catfish and crawdads, shrimp and spoonbills, and even a gator or two, Lake Peigneur -- pronounced "your pain," only backward -- bustles also with human life. Each day, the bean-shaped freshwater lake and its shores hum with folks going about their work: a devoted gardener's apprentice and his dogs, fishermen, oilmen drilling at Well P-20, and the fifty-one miners employed by the Diamond Crystal Salt Mines. For most, November 20, 1980, began as "just another day on the lake." But as the lake itself reflects, humans had, over time, left behind a honeycomb of salt highways deep beneath its surface -- and water and salt mix all too well. Bracing, suspenseful, and packed with dramatic illustrations and dense end matter, this story of a catastrophic accident -- narrated with the homespun voice of a "tall" tale, but true nonetheless -- will amaze science and history buffs alike."--Publisher's description.
