From PBS Terra.

In 1986, Cameroon’s Lake Nyos unleashed a deadly limnic eruption when trapped volcanic CO₂ suddenly burst from the lake, silently suffocating over 1,700 people and transforming scientists’ understanding of geological disasters.

Overview is hosted by Joe Hanson, PhD (from @besmart) and produced by PBS North Carolina.
