What If You Fell Into Lake Kivu?

If you were going for a refreshing swim, the last thing you’d expect is to suffocate from toxic gases.

And how could the lake be on the verge of a toxic explosion?

I was born on Idjwi Island and enjoyed swimming in lake kivu not knowing how dangerous it is. Praying for my brothers and sisters who are still living there

Ideas for future What Ifs:
-What if the US paid off it’s national debt?
-What if Venus had a moon?
-What if Mt Vesuvius erupted again?
-What if the ratio of Earth’s land and water was 50:50?
-What if a tunnel or bridge was built to travel to Hawaii?
-What if all cars were powered by hydrogen fuel cells?

until you realise every story here continues from the previous story for another story to make other stories to make "that's another story for another What If" stor- well you get my point.
