A lot of my science knowledge comes from the 80's cartoon Transfromers. In one of the earlier shows titled "The Core" Megatron got the constructicons to dig a huge hole in the earth in order to tap into the earth's energy. Earlier in the series most the shows revolved around the Depicitcons looking for energy sources.
Starscream was imedately against the noton since drilling into the planet would be like drilling into a large rock which would cause it to explode. Meagtron wouldn't have it and went through with his plan anyway. Sure, enough the Earth started to shake and end was maybe near. Optimus and Megatron were even forced to join forces in order to try and stop it.
Anyway, this is a long way to go provide you with a link that you likely won't ever click on. However, when I read this article about making a hole through the earth's crust. I wondered if they needed someone to buy them the DVD's of the Transformers. It's funny they seem to be doing it just for the heck of it.
Now, I really don't think the world would explode, but are they at least looking for Oil while there down there? After the earth's curst is the mantle. They didn't say if they were going to stop there or not. I think I will just be standing near the space bridge just in case.

It didn't work out well in Doctor Who either. The world didn't explode, but it triggered volcanic explosions all around the drilling site. Once the mantle was breached, it was too late to do anything about, and the entire world was destroyed by the lava flow.
Of course, this was an alternate dimension. The Doctor was able to get back to real Earth and stop it from suffering the same fate.
There was also this green slime that turned people into hideous wolf-man creatures, but they weren't really connected to anything.
Man, the way I'm describing it, this episode sounds awful!
