NBC has a new show coming out called la Brea on 9-28-21 about a huge sinkhole caused by the tar pits and prehistoric life in the sinkhole... Sounds fascinating.
For old TV fans, that building behind the reporter ( 2:06 ) was shown a lot in the original Melrose Place. It was the location of Alison's job. Curson & Wilshire..
Neo Bailey Literally was just thinking about that! And the current spike of seismic activity along the Fontana fault line. One of my absolute favorite movies growing up and my first thought was “yeah, don’t panic y’all.” 😏 I’d be moving asap.
It's amusing that the La Brea Tar Pits, where helpless unsuspecting victims became stuck in something they didn't understand and slowly died, is right next to the SAG-AFTRA building...
When I was 4 or 5 I watched Volcano with my parents and proceeded to be plagued with chronic nightmares about lava for years. I know how this story goes!
Not shocking because they should have not made anything(bldgs, apts, stores etc in that section because even when you walk in that park there's mini tar pits that have to be taped off. So that area you mentioned could have been used as an oil resource
It will be interesting that future generations will find homeless people covered in tar and fentanyl addicts who ventured into the tar to pick the pockets of others only to wind up stuck and become a fossil
I’m a little surprised that no one was sufficiently on the ball to point out that what is seeping to the surface at the “tar pits” is not true tar, but asphalt. Of course, that makes it about the least problematic thing to be bubbling up on an asphalt-paved street. Obviously, the city roads department will want to clean up the excess, but it’s not a contaminant that will erode or degrade the pavement.
I walked thru that park in 95 there were chicanos chilling around the edges and I noticed that the lake was littered with beer bottles toys and trash ....
If you build a city on top of the "La Brea tar pits" than you ought to adjust your definition of "normal" 'cause mother nature is gonna do what she's gonna do. And in La Brea, mother nature is gonna vomit tar.
If your the news wouldn’t you want to ask the USGS a couple questions on why this was happening obviously USGS did not want to talk about it why? did they know something the rest of us didn’t
I saw a show once where that very same area erupted into a big lava-spewing volcano and hot lava started flowing down Wilshire setting things on fire and people running screaming. So they should be careful.
Technically it's asphalt. Are we getting extra seepage because of the road construction there? Is it a sign of the beginning of something worse? Did the subway system destabilize the bedrock?
It's part of the "Salt Lake Oil Field". It's under most of West L.A. and Hollywood. Also, it's actually asphalt and not tar, but that's just semantics to most people. There are also big fields in Huntington Beach and Brea California. I remember when I was a kid, there were hundreds of pumps all pumping it out everywhere in Southern California. I also remember playing with a cousin up near Calabasas and sliding into a brook that I thought was water that was actually oil naturally coming up. Imagine your kid coming home covered in oil, lol!
The CDC says double mask up around there, for the safety of us all, especially for the children. We are working on injections right now, patience please.
Best to be getting out of LA now, the fires will break out big time when the faults split open soon due to the Cascadia quake that is going to rock the NW coast at 9.0!
LA county has fined mother nature for preforming roadworks without a permit
all that excess tar needs to be put to use; too many pot holes.
If they did that the city leaders would not get the kickbacks from city contracts anymore
This is one of those small things they show in a disaster movie right before it hits the fan.
Volcano
I'm going to watch that movie volcano now
Lance Washington I was thinking the same thing!
That cheap movie

A lot of pressure building up for a earthquake
Dutchsinse pointed that out today on his UA-cam Channel. :)
@Jay REED only if Nancy Pelosi was in California when it happens

Ya..... who had la brea tar pit volcano on their natural disaster BINGO Card?
Keep an eye on Yellowstone , things aren't looking good for that region at all now.
You weren't the only that had nightmares with that movie
@@LkOutMtnManI heard Yellowstone will have a weak eruption in the future
and the earthquake just hit 7.1 on 7/5/19
This has been happening on 8th street between Hauser and Ridgeley dr all summer long right next to a major apt building....

I Remeber years ago a volcano erupted at la Brea tar pits in the 90s LA city did a good job on removing it tho
Tar is a refined petroleum product. This is not TAR, it is CRUDE OIL! 😂
You can’t stop nature. I really did like seeing the tar pits and museum.👍
Streets that automatically repair itself 🤔
It will be interesting that future generations will find homeless people covered in tar and fentanyl addicts who ventured into the tar to pick the pockets of others only to wind up stuck and become a fossil
Thats funny 🤣
Ah the old hobo tar trip works like a charm.
Aaaaaahhhhhh Ha Ha Ha
Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !
What do you expect when you're building on a tar Pitt, Brea means tar right?

This was our warning or alarm clock... The streets are begining to open up.
Oh yes, because it's normal to see tar coming out like a spring.
it actually is normal
welcome to nature
It is....
If you build a city on top of the "La Brea tar pits" than you ought to adjust your definition of "normal" 'cause mother nature is gonna do what she's gonna do. And in La Brea, mother nature is gonna vomit tar.
Oil can do the same thing. It sometimes creeps up and covers a huge area
Volcano 🌋.
Self paving streets
That's from the stone age nice
Sounds like they need to reinforce the foundations and vent the gases safely before something bad happens.
Sounds like you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.
Why isnt there oil derricks being used in la brea to reduce oil/gasoline prices!
😎VERY NICE SUIT JAKE!!!⭐️✨
Light a match and throw it on the tar 👀
Has the sink hole opened up Yet? Lol
The crowds were crazy!!
Who's here after the new NBC show La Brea?...
If your the news wouldn’t you want to ask the USGS a couple questions on why this was happening obviously USGS did not want to talk about it why? did they know something the rest of us didn’t
"Let's build by a tar pit they said"
"What could go wrong they said"
hey I'm just checking in that was the report 3 years ago is it still going on
just showed up for me, in my feed. The "nature fixing potholes" comments are priceless.
I saw a show once where that very same area erupted into a big lava-spewing volcano and hot lava started flowing down Wilshire setting things on fire and people running screaming. So they should be careful.
Literally lol.
The movie was Volcano.
Was it a butthole after eating taco bell?

In other news, water keeps flowing from Old Faithful.
Scary that alot of people dont know this is leading up to a big ass earthquake if this pressure dont subside expect a 7.5-7.7 be ready people
Well for the past 2 months they been doing construction right there so they might of cracked something❓❓❓❓😮😮
Fernando Vago yeah the red line train to santa monica
I saw an old power rangers movie start like this… 😬
Ok, I'll watch it...title name and year, please?

If the water starts washing of soil away from under the foundations, the Pesan towers will appear soon. We will hear This is Big Ben from London.
2:13 Flips bird
🤣 now I see it. People are like children sometimes.
That's funny😂😂
Good one!
IS THIS STILL OCCURRING???..🤔
You got a light ?
"There are no La Brea Tar Pits in Scotland!"
Didnt Volcano start this way? 🤣
So- why was this news? The La Brea Tar Pits are close by, and it’s TAR!
I wouldn't be able to help myself from lighting that methane on fire.😁
Same.
me too
Three people for arson investigators to keep in mind^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
@@douglashanlon1975 that is not arson. idiot. they do this to stop the pollution. also people here are joking around.

One completely mindless asshole troll to watch out for.
Tar-est attraction...🙄
And today manhole 🕳 covers are blowing out. Nothing to see here, keep the tourists coming.
This is a warning before it blows.
Not unusual?
Tom Jones? Right?
Volcano movie 1997
Who you gonna call, Ghostbusters.
This literally happened in the movie guys
The whole city will go back to tar
Awesome.
Last action hero brought me here.
How is there still so much tar after so many decades of mining it?
Because the earth continues to produce it.
@@Jimmyxsx So...Its happening because its happening?
Not an answer.
i know this is a 9 month old post, But Factories and warehouses still make Tar to this day.
That methane gas could be an accelerant for the forest fires? Like putting the lighter fluid on a charcoal grill?

Cool, Let's Make some TAR-Tar Sauce.
The movie volcano is coming alive. The tar pits is where the eruption started in the movie. 😱😱
I'm so frustrated how it doesn't seem very tar-ish. I can't place it. The bubbling is clear, yet the stain is clearly dark
It’s that Volcano. From 1997 Volcano 🌋🤫🤔🤔
Lol yea
all that tar and our streets around there with so many potholes
City of Tar
it’s the city of crap
Just meant pressure in California which a month later ridgecrest 7.0 in July
I bet la Brea tar pits was actually bigger than what's inside that fence..?

The city guys are upset cause it’s filling potholes better than them.
That's cool and all, but if it starts smelling like sulfur then you're about to have a *_much bigger_* problem than just tar coming out of the ground.

Leaking Methane Gas is not an attraction. And how the hell isnt that a health concern again? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Tar is black gold
LA is a massive oil field, when they stoped pumping it, this is what happens.
🤣🤣🤣🤣everything they tried to hide is being unveiled 👏👏👏👏

Best to be getting out of LA now, the fires will break out big time when the faults split open soon due to the Cascadia quake that is going to rock the NW coast at 9.0!
Ya right peopke so stupid
It's actually asphalt, not tar.
Asphalt is man made from petroleum and other things mixed together. Tar occurs naturally. So no, it's not asphalt, it fucking tar.
How do you feel now: *points microphone at woman*
Man: I FEEL GREAT!!!
1:45
Guys it's the Tar Monster!!! Lol
Beware of the Tar it leaps and creep across the floor, it slips and slides beneath the door
Free roof repair supplies yippie!
Maybe use some extra thick paper towels to soak that stuff up 😳
Can that catch fire??
The tar can, but it takes some doing. I bet the gas would light right up.
I love tar!
Its scary to think it only takes one idiot to start a fire where he shouldn't
I'm sure the tire smells better than s*** on the other streets
Ghostbuster II or Beverly Hillbilies...First thought...lol
just light it up and BOOM problem solved 😂
Yea swallow up that town! lol
there was a movie about this happening then it blew up
Its getting ready to slide into the ocean
Free road repair
What roads and home built on this... people can barley get a addition approved at a local city...lol
