"It is rumored that at some point the drilling rig began to vibrate unnaturally, as if someone were jerking for it from below.
When the well reached a mark of about 12,000 meters, scientific equipment recorded sounds resembling the cries and groans of thousands of martyrs emanating from the depths."
Now there’s a fun moral dilemma. Is it ethical to generate electricity with the torment of the damned if it replaces polluting power plants and they’d be tormented anyway?

Getting some real Doom 3 vibes here:

Sadly, that is only an urban myth, there is some explanation on how it appeared on the wikipedia page of the site.
Personally, I’m quite happy that this supposed Hell turned out to be a myth.
Idunno, Hell could have been a potential source of geothermal energy.
Or maybe it could aid in the discovery in previously unknown energy production methods.

I mean, they're gonna be tormented either way so why not make that useful...
I was playing at the DOOM (2016) scenario though.
