Back in the day they would simply wrap a virgin in gold jewelry and push her in. Made perfectly good sense to the people who invented the long count calendar.

Holy crap is right! That seems to go right into an underground river or something that it can drain into.

Not gonna be easy to make that whole again, even with reinforcing the area, there is more "down" down there that can open up. Wonder how the neighbors to that hole feel?

Is that the same sink hole that swallowed a 3 story building last night?
