The one in Louisiana was caused by a brine cavern failure.

"The state suit alleges that Texas Brine and Occidental mined the salt dome cavern “to the point that the cavern became structurally unstable, thereby causing the collapse of the cavern and damage to Louisiana’s waters, natural resources, and the State’s Coastal Zone.”

IIRC something similar happend in the Carolinas some years ago where a lake drained into a mine underneath it, reversed the course of the river that flowed to the ocean a bit and now the lake has the salt water in the depths and the fresh water on the top...thats some pretty crazy stuff.
 
Yeah we keep digging and pumping stuff out of the ground leaving cavities down there and expect old Ma Earth to just keep holding the front yard up. Sure thing.

Exactly what I was thinking, watching that clip. I'd have been filming, but you'd see the camera bounce... 'cuz I'd also be running!
 
If I come out one day and my stacks are gone I'm gonna be extremely annoyed. !!!
