At first puzzled researchers suggested that underground there are natural “pockets” of gas, but this hypothesis does not confirmed.

In addition, the speedway passing here will also suffer. Railway.
As for the residents of Willand, they would hardly have noticed any changes, if not for engineering communications, from the states of which their life depends. Meanwhile, experts continue to study this phenomenon and try to determine it causes. So far, unfortunately, to no avail …
