  I refuse to believe that they (the government) didn’t know what was going on, I mean come on people were saying the ground was shaking and making sounds for a while, as to a pipe being clogged up to make that type of hole, sorry I don’t buy it. Something else is going on and someone is trying to cover it up.

  I cant even imagine what that must look like or feel like. It is so deep and dark. OMG, that is a HollyWood Movie in the beginning. What would someone do, or where would you run? but in a sciantific manner, that has to be an unbelievable cavern view. I want to see videos of the bottom. I hope no one else fell, though, and the uncle is just missing above ground!

  Where did all the material go (dirt, rock, etc)? Something had to be going on for months.

  Let me rephrase their statement
  “This weekend some rain and a broken pipe cause a freakin football-field-deep chasm to devour a small bit of town. Locals smell poo. Government says ‘meh’.”

  “Nothing to see here folks …except for the giant Cave of Doom that must now be appeased by human sacrifices before it devours us all with its mighty wrath.”

  If i recall correctly, these things are caused by things like depletion of underground water resevoirs. These things happen all the time in south america, and in other places in the world. People keep pumping out underground lakes which leads to all sorts of underground feature changes which leads to dome erosion and, eventually, sinkholes.
