Jamison Fillmore (Richard Anderson) makes the statement that Lake Tahoe is the deepest lake in the world. The deepest lake is Russia's Lake Baikal. Over 5300 feet deep, Baikal is more than 3 times deeper than Tahoe! His fact that Tahoe is 1600 feet deep is correct, but that makes it the second deepest lake in the U.S. and 3rd place in North America.
