Assalamu alaykum,
Was reading about a crater in this place called DARVAZA in Turkmenistan today. Not quite sure how many of you know about this. Here is a brief intro from wiki
The "Gates of Hell"
Darvaza underground is naturally rich in natural gas. In 1971, during a drilling, geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground on which the drilling rig was placed collapsed, leaving a large gaping hole exposed with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gases coming out of the hole, it was decided to let the gases burn. As of 2008 gases in the underground cavern are still burning without interruption.
Subhanallah, if a small area in earth has been burning for this long, imagine how it would be in the real hell!!!!
