There was this girl I knew in the sixties that even an 8’ 2X4 didn’t help.

Yeah, disappointing list.

The salt mine under Detroit doesn’t even start till about 1000 feet down and that’s a relatively shallow mine.

The distraught naked woman, covering her nether parts
with her boyfriends shoe, was trying to explain to the
country bumpkin about losing her clothes when he fell
in the lake, when the old geezer took one look at the
shoe and declared, “Honey, when they’re in that deep,
there IS no help.”

Deepest. Not widest.

It was nice to see that the Kimberley hole was on the list.

This was also interesting, turned up in a search for that “bottomless” hole in Mexico (that’s only 1200 feet deep).

I hate seeing that waste of energy.

Truly, a part of the Soviet Hell.

After more than 50 years of speleological work in Mexico, more than 50 caves have been found with depths greater than 500 meters (1,640 ft). Around the world, there are only 89 caves with depths greater than 1000 meters (3,280 ft), nine of which are located in Mexico.

Takes a real Journ-o-list type to come up with these things.... and some real smart editors to let such idiotic titles slip by.. I’ve been in mines three times as deep as the deepest hole they list, and there are drilled well holes 23 times deeper than they list.

Now if the author had titled it 9 very interesting holes, he might be right.

There was a salt mine in eastern Europe that was like an underground city and a WW2 shelter
