Title: dur..... where did that hole come from?
Post by: headdie on May 31, 2011, 02:06:14 pm
Yahoo is obviously having a slow news day because they are posting random crap...  including a rogues gallery of some of the sink holes to hit the news http://uk.news.yahoo.com/photos/sinkholes-1306832402-slideshow/large-sinkhole-seen-along-lemond-rd-near-kim-photo.html

I am unnaturally terrified of sinkholes, and as such this thread has officially freaked me out for the day. Thank you, SypheDMar.  :blah:

At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in.
:eek:

Wow... that Guatemala hole is enormous!

Funny how the Yahoo site says "A collection of sinkhole images from around the world", then shows twelve images from the US and two from Guatemala. It's a small world at Yahoo, I guess...

To make matters worse I think the two in Guatemala are the same hole

By the way, the helicopter-sucking black hole at Mirny has been erroneously stated be in Serbia; I suspect they wanted to say "Syberia" and used "Serbia" by mistake - Mirny is in Russia.
