Yeah, that, or perhaps that’s where all that oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico came from there? hehe.

Wonder how the neighbors to that hole feel? Experiencing a certain sinking feeling...

Per one report, 60m (about 200 feet) deep. That’s impressive - can’t even see rubble from the building.

Somebody call the Air Force. Their aim was a bit off but otherwise the test was successful. On to Tehran!

I’d say toss him in, but a big hole plus hot air doesn’t seem a fragrant combination.

Gulp! A 10 story building from the news feeds. Hopefully everyone was already out once they felt it shifting.
But no reference or link to show that.
