World’s deepest hole dubbed ‘well to HELL’
I remember back when they were drilling this, there were all kinds of prophecies of doom about splitting the earth open, etc...
I left out the part where you can hear the screams of people in Hell.

EARTH'S deepest artificial hole stretches 40,000 feet below the surface – but it's only covered by a rusty metal lid.
Russia's Kola Superdeep Borehole was created by the Soviets in the name of science so they could learn more about what's really under our feet and dig to depths unknown.
The project to drill into the Earth's surface began near Murmansk in the 1970s, when Soviet scientists wanted to learn more about the Earth's crust.
Over two decades, they managed dig more than 7.5 miles down into the Earth.
However, in 1992 they had to stop drilling because the temperature was around 180 degrees Celsius, which was far hotter than the scientists predicted it would be.
Experts still need to figure out away to overcome this temperature issue if they want to keep drilling and not destroy all of their equipment in the process.
