330-ft. is over the length of a football field.
I used to get scared about the central FL sinkholes when I was kid. Seems my fear is not so irrational after all, huh? ;-)

I've never seen a hole in the ground that I thought would give me nightmares before.

Some ways to die are worse than others. How horrible for these people.

I would not get within 2000 yards of that hole. Those officer just feet away, should have safety lines tied on their body.

I'm having a premonition right now at work that when Hillary Clinton loses her run for the Presidency in 2008,this is what is going to happen when she returns to her Massive House in Washington D.C.
Hell will be calling her home, of course. LOLOLOL

If *I* owned the land, I'd sell tickets. On the other hand, DeSoto's Law probably holds here. In places like Guatemala, *nobody* can prove they own *anything*, and the government likes it that way...
To: DungeonMaster
yeah, the pictures, coupled with this line from the article are going to give me nightmares, too!
"The pit emitted foul odors, loud noises and tremors, shaking the surrounding ground. A rush of water could be heard from its depths, and authorities feared it could widen or other sinkholes could open."
Sounds like something from the Art Bell show!!
To: lizol
Wow, great pictures. Scary hole.

I don't get it. They were tryin' to steal the hole?Sinkholes don't follow plat maps. They don't always swallow structures whole. If one wall of a building falls and the others stay up, it's open season on the stuff inside.

If one wall of a building falls and the others stay up, it's open season on the stuff inside.That explains why all the 52" Plasma TV's in the neighborhood are gone.

That explains why all the 52" Plasma TV's in the neighborhood are gone.Liquor, guns, cash, portable electronics and jewelry are easier to carry and easier to fence (except the cash, of course). If you're an opportunist, and this happens in your neighborhood, you can just waltz in and grab what you can carry. "I'm just getting my things out," you say. No one is around who can say that they aren't actually yours. The rightful owner is out of town, at work, or at the bottom of the hole.
