Seems like I remember something like this happening in Russia a few years ago (from a Discovery Channel special (?)) were a whole lake disappeared.
I hate it when this happens.
Has this happened there before?

creepy
Something similar happened here in California, in the San Joaquin. We locals call it the Democratic Party.
Bush’s fault
there’s something wrong with that explanation. where ever the crack appeared, the river should still exist upstream from the crack.
Either this is a hoax, or there is something really strange going on.
The pics are obviously fake tho. If the water suddenly went away, there would be moss, slime, algae, and all kinds of mud and silt all over those rocks. Not to mention bugs all over and birds too. Those rocks are dry as a bone and havn’t seen water in years. the live fish they showed flopping around were obviously thrown there moments before the pics were taken.
karst..that’s all I remember from my college geology class...it was karst
There is a creek near my boyhood home that flows for several miles through the valleys of southern middle Tennessee then disappears into the ground and reappears a few hundred yards later.
Now renamed the “Waska River.”

I recall reading an article about a lake in England. They were doing some dredgeing and the equipment caught on a huge chain. It was attached to a 6 foot wooden plug. When they pulled in, the plug came out of a 6 foot stone lined underground waterway. The lake drained, and a lake several miles away flooded. The waterway ran between the lakes. The locals had no record of when the waterway was built. It was figured to be several hundreds of years old. I read the article several years ago.
Good morning TaraP,
Here in Florida we have the Santa Fe River. YOu can go down it in and inner tube Kayak or canoe and at a certain point you have to stop because the river disappears underground.
It’s not a large river maybe twenty feet across ususally but you come to a certain point and large signs warn you and then there is fencing to prevent you from disappearing with it.
Well, they might as well waive the creel limits and let the fishermen have a field day.
