This field doesn't look all that isolated to me???
Will make a great pond..................

Bush’s fault. Global warming, too.
Is that oil in there?
Morlocks...
“several” = 150 feet according to that caption. Wow.
Wonder what that gray stuff at the bottom is? Just mud?

I’m thinking a property tax appeal is in the works right about now.
I wonder what’s in those blue-green tanks.
I saw it on the Discovery channel. They had cartoon depictions that looked really real, so it must be true.
some vids on Khou.com.
According to a geologist, this is a cave-in of a salt dome. There are lots of those in the area and a smaller sinkhole appeared a year or so ago and quit growing after one day.
I can’t understand why they didn’t move the tractor by attaching a cable and hauling it away. The vids clearly show it on the ground near the hole and then falling into it as the hole widened.
A new place to store nuclear waste.
This sort of thing is a recurring phenomenon in Florida such that it barely makes the news when it happens. We also have something we call “the sinking season.”

Nevermind the missing few billion barrels of oil at 10 cents a barrel. Nothing to do with the hole.
Looks alot like the potholes on I-35 to me.
A sinkhole opened up near a neighbor’s water well a few months ago- this was a pretty big hole, about 15 feet across and probably 20 feet deep at the deepest part, though hard to tell becuase it was like a hole inside the hole and the opening of the deepest part wasn’t too big. Anyway the well company that was called said that happens when you have a bigger pump than what the well needs and you overpump- continuously for a period of time. The liquid (water in this case) is removed rapidly from the space and there is no recovery time for the well to refill. The guy said it is similiar to suctioning a liquid out of a plastic bottle and making it collapse. We don’t really have a problem with sinkholes around here like in some places so it was startling. I don’t know if the same process is responsible for making this sink hole- but just wonder if it might be the same idea on a larger scale or that area is more prone to sinkholes so the hole is much bigger.
