Yes, I was looking at that too. There are some "bottomless pits" peeking through the dirt. After all, the material in the void went somewhere, right? And, I think we can see the black throat of that monster still open!

Some are speculating it could have been a subterranean heist job gone bad.
Remember the movie "Paint Your Wagon"?

I actually want to see how they get the cars out and how they fix the hole. I have my own ideas and wonder if they are on the same line of how it actually goes...
And they will have to send guys down there on rope gear for sure in case of more sinkage.. (as opposed to shrinkage which I would have a massive case of )

Thats exactly how they do it....Grouting is what its called and its $$$, other option is underpinnings, etc....

There was a large sinkhole in BG in 2002, cost $1M to repair

I would assume some sort of flowable fill, if there is a bottom to that thing.

At the bottom of the hole are the chinese. Them asians are good for diggin' tunnels. They were lookin' for templates to do fakes.

Look for rice. Not the 4-wheel kind...

Yeah, if we wouldn't have caught this, everything would have been put back to normal like nothin' ever happened. Except on the inside of each of the C4 hoods, right in front of the air cleaner, it woulda said "Made in China".

Very tricky them Chineese! Ha Ha
