River disappears overnight after loud detonation noise is heard
On Tuesday night 2km of the river Iska in Slovenia disappeared and left behind fish on dry ground. The residents are saying that they heard a huge bang in the night. It sounds like they are describing it as a possible earthquake-like sound although there was no tremor. One woman said that it was like a huge detonation, as if something big had crashed onto the ground. People went out of their homes to see what was falling down, only to witness the river being drained.

To make this story even more strange, last week there were devastating floods in Slovenia and this river like all others was flooding land and properties. Could it be that some strange technology is being tested here for flood defence purpose? The official explanation is that due to the karst nature of the terrain the river went underground through this tiny hole (see pictures in link below), but the residents are highly sceptical as they have never witnessed anything like that ever (bearing in mind this river has flooded many times before).

For pictures (language is Slovenian): 24ur.com...

The first part of the official news story (from link above) translates as:

"On Tuesday night the river Iska vanished between the villages of Iska Vas and Strahomer."... (Now here comes the official explanation)... "Slovene Environment Agency statement says that the water is flowing into the underground chamber underneath the water bed. This is the way the river disappears and reappers later down stream.This time this characteristic of the river is stronger because of the damages to the river bed."

Re: River disappears overnight after loud detonation noise is heard
So 2km of a river disappears overnight, and the offical story is that it drained away through that small crack?! (See pictures in link in above post).

Bearing in mind that witnesses heard a huge bang, which one said sounded like a huge detonation.

Is it that this phenomena was caused by some new technology to control flooding? Or perhaps it was an earthquake without the tremor? What is particularly concerning is that this sort of event can be common before big earthquakes. In china a whole lake disappeared before a devastating earthquake.

Re: River disappears overnight after loud detonation noise is heard
You are most welcome. Thanks for responding. Thought this needs to get out to the english speaking world as otherwise will probably get hardly any coverage. I agree, truly is bizarre. Think about 2km of a flooded river draining through that crack overnight! Just doesn't seem plausible. And then there was that loud bang noise like a detonation. Very mysterious indeed!

OP, this is truly bizarre. Thanks for posting.

There was 3 metres of water before it happened, due to the extreme floods in Slovenia in last week. So no, it has not been dry for a while.

Looks like its been dry for a while to me....

Interesting? Do you know what theories explain the reason for this?

Maybe a DUMB has an underground sealed aquifer that they have just filled up.

Any other strange bangs or explosive rumblings in the past?.

I could understand the half of what they were saying in video and everyone agrees there was sound of detonation but no shake at all.

It could be the peasants were fish hunting with dynamite and opened the crack in the river bed.

God's hand in nature is amazing.

Anyway you cut it though, something "opened up" and a lot of water is now flowing under-ground. Solar doom?

Or kids playing with dynamite where they should not?

Re: River disappears overnight after loud detonation noise is heard
OP, what do you mean 2km of that river disappeared? Was it a 2km branch/tributary of that river shown at the end, or was it a small creek usually overflowing when it rains? Because rivers are longer than just 2km. And they can't just disappear unless the flow from their source is blocked (dam) or their source drys up.

it's that damn global warming again. Everybody knows that limestone CaCO3 in a "karst" landscape suddenlly off-gases into it's componate CO2 with large booms as the excess CO2 is farted into the air.

I was wondering about that too.

Figured the river get's feed from more sources downstream again; other smaller streams or springs.

Zetas right again!!
Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!
