I saw this yesterday. Apparently it swallowed a three story building. Lots of fatalities.

So how the fuck does a tropical storm create a sinkhole that big? And what the hell do they do with it now? They have a big hole in the middle of the city...

a big-ass swimming pool?

A tourist attraction?

A good place to git rid of your wife or anyone else you dont like?

It would come close, though. Besides, we can't allow that much mass to be located in such close proximity. The gravity could could collapse the mass of the Biggest Losers upon itself thus creating a super massive black hole.

Seeing this makes you wonder what was going through the heads of the people building over this. Surely there was some kind of sign that this was a problem area. Or maybe not and it's just a freak thing? When you look at the different colors on the hole it probably was at least two or three feet thick. Probably something to do with ground water, but I'm not smart enough to paint the picture.

YOu fill it with used tires, golf balls and other junk... then you blow 1.2 million pounds of mud into it... then you wait for the rest of the city to fall into it.

Sinkholes freak me out. You don't know they're there, but they are, growing, growing, growing ever so silently until they attack, with no warning. There was a story a few weeks back about a house in the U.S. where a sinkhole suddenly took an entire house. They couldn't even find the bodies of some members of the family.

The really scary part is that there's a three story building at the bottom of that hole, and in none of the photos can you see any debris.

Good thing it's not in the states. Some lawyer's great, great, great grandchildren would be keeping the builder's great, great, great grandchildren in the basement to perform menial tasks around the house paying off that lawsuit.
