    Cameroonian here from the North West Region who grew up with fantastical tales about what caused the Nyos Disaster. It is so shocking to hear about how many ticking time bombs are just sitting underneath lakes in inhabited areas in Cameroon. Also not even a little shocking to hear the Cameroonian government in it's ever terrifying ineptitude and corrupt incompetence has done nothing to address any of this. It is sad to know that all those people living there in rural areas are still in danger and can't do much about it. Thanks for the video.

    Bedsores don't occur that quickly.
    They typically require weeks to form... certainly not hours. (If so, people would wake up after 8 hours of sleep with bedsores).

    • @morganwiebe2829
      @morganwiebe2829 5 місяців тому +28

      Depends on the person, area, and a persons mobility. In nursing we adjust bed bound patients every 2h, specifically because they actually can develop pressure wounds (aka bed sores) in under a day. Primarily over bone-y areas, thin/fragile skin, and not much fatty tissue - think spine, tailbone, elbows, hips, and heals.
      The average/healthy person isn’t as susceptible because they don’t have those higher risk factors, and that people will unconsciously offload those pressure points.
      But if they were unable to offload those pressure points, like being in an unresponsive/coma-esque state or very limited mobility/strength, they would absolutely end up getting pressure wounds within days. Especially if they were unable to eat/drink they would likely start to rapidly lose those protective layers of tissue, and dehydrated skin becoming way less elastic.
      All this to say, pressure wounds happen way quicker than most people think. So if you, or someone you’re taking care of, become bed bound (even temporarily) it is incredibly important to offload pressure points at minimum every 2h ☺️

    • @MazCat

      They can absolutely start forming in hours. Mainly in people who are immobile and can't turn over or shift positions, especially if they are skinny or in positions that specifically press bones close to the skin. If you were skinny and somehow slept completely still all night without padding then yes I would expect some breakdown to begin.

    What you didn’t mention is that when you breathe in concentrated CO2, it quickly dissolves into the moisture in your nose, mouth and lungs to create a burning layer of carbonic acid that will make you choke and induce more mucous as your body tries to flush the acid out. So although there is no odor, the burning sensation would be unmistakable that something was definitely wrong with the air you were breathing. The symptoms would have been short lived due as you had pointed out to passing out from the lack of oxygen.

Some people who knew they were good swimmers in good shape would get by the fence and some of these didn't make it out of the lake either.

    Of course the first idea is bombing, to address an issue that builds up over very long time, and also the source of the problem being magma, what could possibly go wrong? And then, calcium hydroxide, that will react fast, and strongly, possibly causing a limnic eruption if there's enough CO2 for that to happen.
    Calcium carbonate is practically inert in pH levels 7.5 and up, it would react slowly with the carbonic acid, and produce mostly calcium bicarbonate. Not perfect total solution, but a lot better than bombing, or using calcium hydroxide.

    Hey, small thing, but I believe Lake Monoun is said like Mo-NOON, like the time 1200. The ‘ou’ sounds like that in most names I’ve run across in the same area (Douala, Cameroun itself, Bafoussam.
    Actually, the -aou- sounds waaaaaay more like the -ou- in English noun. (see: Yaoundé, N’gaoundéré) The u sound at the very end is just a touch more pronounced, at least to my filthy yankee ears 😃 I believe the -ou- is a holdover from French colonization, some other previously French colonies have retained that spelling in place names at least (Segou in Mail, Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso). Anyway, I won’t ramble more or I’ll be here all day. Limnic eruptions are fucking cool. I hope we don’t see Kivu decide to turn over and gas that entire tri border meeting point there…though, if there’s a way to put a quick stop to M23 or FDLR or whoever we are blaming for the problems plaguing eastern DRC for decades…if they’re not up in the mountains, the lake is right there and all 👀
    Should’ve let Lumumba try to do his job in DRC. That man was a visionary. But nah, he sided with the wrong white people and the west got scared and now we’re here. 🤡

    Hey, quick comment and question. The second image you have at the beginning of the video looks like Lake Atitlan in Guatemala (I lived there for 7 years) and was wondering if the same thing could happen there? Is there a way I can find out? I have lots of friends there and the people that were born there are just lovely. The lake has a fairly large population around it and I'd hate for something to happen around there.

      So I checked and it is a crater/caldera lake so it's possible, I guess. It does have active volcanoes on the edge of it, so it might be venting that way instead of building up in the water.

    Simon, please do your ad reads either at the very beginning, or the very end of the video. Jumping to it in the middle of the story is just annoying. Anyone that is actually gonna watch the ad will watch it no matter where you put it. And those of us that fast forward thru them no longer have to break up the flow of the story for an ad for a product we've heard a million times. Other than that, another awesome video! Thank you good sir! 💯🤓
