...A huge sinkhole measuring 98 square feet...

That's just a baby! (10 X 10 feet, if square; 5.5 ft diameter)

Like this: 98 feet x 98 feet = 98 square feet

I learned that in kindergarten.

Isn’t pointing out math errors racist?

does this qualify as a sinkhole?

it looks like a lot of human built structure under the roadway

if a car on the top floor of a parking garage fell through a hole in the roadway, would you call that a sinkhole?

In Florida, we have real sinkholes. That is not a sink hole, that is a structural failure.

Those may be pilings driven into the ground to support the building structures. That means the ground there was already known to be "fluid". Building over swamp land is kind of dicey.

I think what you see are pilings; and, the earth washed out from around them. It was a sink hole, but on ground well known to lack firmness.
