Lapindo

The Sidoarjo mud flow or Lapindo mud, a contraction of Lumpur Sidoarjo (lumpur is the Indonesian word for mud), is a mud volcano[1] in the subdistrict of Porong, Sidoarjo in East Java, Indonesia that has been ongoing since May 2006. The biggest mud volcano in the world was created by the blow out of a natural gas well drilled by PT Lapindo Brantas, although company officials contend that it was caused by a distant earthquake.
well, it's been long time i dont visit Lumpur lapindo again, since i have free time, i decided to went there in the morning with my friend. As you can see, many houses were destroyed and drowned by the mud.
