  • In 2013, the crater’s flame intensity and temperatures were at its recorded peak. At the same time, renowned Canadian explorer, George Kourounis, became the first – and only – person to enter the crater wearing a full heat-reflective Kevlar/Nomex suit and a firefighter’s Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) to provide oxygen. He descended to the 752 °F (400 °C) crater floor and retrieved soil samples. Scientists later found extremophile bacteria living in the scorched earth samples Kourounis provided.

    Wtf that’s the craziest part of this story!











  • Not OP, but I revisited the article after your question on their behalf. The biggest gripe I can find is the headline mentions they’re suing for United providing “Too Much Care” in quotes. It’s mentioned in quotes later in the article as well, which would make you think that is mentioned either in the lawsuit itself or in the original CBS article referenced by this article.

    I’m too lazy to check the entire lawsuit, but checking the CBS article I didn’t see anything at all that mentioned “Too Much Care”. So yeah… OP got down voted a bunch, but they might have a point. This article does seem to be a bit inflammatory and is making claims that don’t seem to be backed up by the source articles.

    Edit: Not sure about Russian bots and all that. Was just addressing the question about which part of this article is fake.
