There’s no mine under this Chilean pond, but obviously there’s some kind of cavern or crevice involved. More along the lines of the Louisiana story — during the digging of one of the tunnels in NY, 70 or 80 years ago, the crew wound getting killed when the river broke through and flooded it.

here in western NY - the atzko (sp) salt mine was using too widely spaced pillars - all was well until the aquifer broke through and caused a huge subsidence and a 2. something tremor - no lives lost - but the mine was a loss
