Happens frequently in certain parts of the world, particularly Florida as far as the U.S. is concerned, although not typically of the magnitude in that picture.

I remember that happening once in downtown Columbus, Ohio and at the bottom of the sinkhole was the car of a lawyer. I think it was back in the mid 80’s.

The second pic looks like a picture of a model with a hole in the tabletop.

A landfill right in the center of town, how convenient.

Seriously, what the heck do they do with these things?

How deep is that? I can’t see the bottom. Looks like an endless abyss.

Kind of amazing that these sink holes are almost perfectly round, and straight. No photos inside of the hole?

Just wait until the oil, methane, and sea water starts gushing out.

Weird how round and smooth sided these ‘tunnel-like’ sink holes look.

Don’t tell the obama zombies. They’ll want to jump in.

It wasn't global warming, it was global worming! Now, for pete's sake will someone get after it before we're living on a wiffle ball?

What's the SOP for dealing with something of that size? Do you fill it with rocks? Cement? Top soil? All of the above?

It looks like a window on another world.

The word "abyss" springs to mind.

OMG. I think the gate to hell has open and his minions will soon rule the planet. Seriously, this looks scary.

This looks much like another sinkhole I saw about two years ago, also in that part of the world. I’ll bet those kids will believe their Mom from now on about digging their way to China.

I’m more afraid of sinkholes than I am of hurricanes. That one is terrifying.

600' Winter Park, FL sinkhole, 1981

Winter Park borders Orlando. Today the sinkhole is filled with water and is known as Lake Rose in Winter Park.
