I would have done a Google on this, but I don’t really know what the heck keywords to use to find _exactly_ what I am looking for. This is right up your alley anyway. It sounds like a Weekly World News article, and maybe it has been… Is there a town somewhere that is deserted because the underground is full of burning red hot coal, which may never extinguish? I recently saw a a fleeting glimpse of an ad for a documentary spot on tv, but I didn’t get to catch what the show was, or when, so I missed it. ☹ It showed a guy walking on a road, which was all split open and the ground under the crack was glowing. It wasn’t a lava thing nor fake. I have seen brief references to this story in the past. Im not sure where, though. It sounds like a fascinating story and I’d like to know about it. If I could see a video documentary, that would, rock. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pardon-me-anthracite-can-you-help-with-this-one/91089)._
