New area nearby giant sinkhole saturated with water

Can you, OP or anyone tell me the dimensions of the sinkhole?

My disinterested friend finally asked this, and I couldn't answer.

I guessed at 4 x 3 miles.

I really have no idea and can't find this info anywhere.

WATER in a sinkhole/SWAMP area ?

UNbelievable !

Better call your 'uncle' for first hand confirmation !

I read somewhere, someone said it was about 4 acres big now

Whats that light at 2:49 in the earth fly over satellite part.

Kind of reminds me of the land in Japan after the earthquake and the liquefaction of the ground. Looks pretty serious....

This is not just "water in a swamp". This is a hole in the ground that was not there a few months ago. The hole is 38 STORIES deep and growing every single day. There is also the potential for this hole to connect to the Gulf of Mexico. This has happened before ... see Lake Peigneur ... [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Given the fact that they've been storing nuclear waste and waste from the gas and oil industry, if this thing lets go like it did before, it's going to be something really horrible and NOT just more "water in a swamp".
