I just watched a video about Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun the other day, and it made this picture unsettling. Even though they're really nothing alike.

So you don't have to do research for this to make sense: those two lakes both emitted large clouds of carbon dioxide that settled over nearby populated areas and suffocated a lot of people. They were basically indistinguishable from regular fog banks.

This was my first thought too. I guess clouds are scary to me now.
