I believe this is a part of the technology invented by Dr Kasperich who invented the British mass suffocation weapons in 2002. The weapons have the ability to remove oxygen from areas over many square miles in seconds. This technology means vast areas of land the size of London can be captured in hours. The USA has not been allowed to share these weapons as our government believe the USA can somtimes act as loose cannons. The British have voted against using these weapons in Afghanistan and Iraq becuase of the risk to civillians. I wondered if Russia has this technology already aftert the true comments about this lake. We must hope these gases remain where they are. The tests made on Salisbury plain wiped out nearly all the wildlife in 5 minutes during a small test in a 5 square mile area.
