What made the videos a challenge to watch was that there was no narration, just random Indonesian and Western pop music in the background (but at distortion-level gain – so I had to turn the volume to just one notch above zero), and the only bits of written information are in rather broken English. Some later material was quite scary, especially the footage from July 2009 shot in Siring Barat village where a new mudflow suddenly starting to spout from someone's back yard (and even under the house itself!) and within days completely engulfed the whole block. It also showed the main mud geyser at full spouting activity (when it was churning out 150,00 cubic metres of mud each day!). Some stretches were rather irrelevant but it also included some intriguing images of when the gases coming with the mud from the main borehole were ignited, shooting huge flares into the night sky. It is, well, rather amateurishly made shaky camcorder footage of the early stages of the disaster. ![]() I am certainly not familiar enough with, or even capable of comprehending, all the complicated science involved in this to be able to offer an opinion of my own here. We'll see if that will stand in the long term. A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience now seems to have tipped the balance in favour of a natural explanation after all. For over seven years opinions remained divided. Nevertheless, the blame could never be conclusively put on Lapindo alone. That city, however, is 160 miles (260 km) away, so that explanation did not strike many people as immediately plausible. The company claimed that the it was actually a natural disaster caused by the earthquake near Yogyakarta that had happened at around the same time. Whether or not it was indeed their fault or not remains a controversial issue. It all started in May 2006, when the Lapindo Brantas oil and gas company conducted exploration operations by drilling but instead of finding gas seemed to have triggered the mud volcano. ![]()
