[00:00:00]Imagine going to sleep peacefully and never waking up because of a lake.

[00:00:07]In 1986, near Lake Nyos in Cameroon, something terrifying happened.

[00:00:14]Without warning, the lake suddenly released a massive cloud of deadly gas.

[00:00:21]The invisible cloud spread silently through nearby villages during the night.
