Why are there no photos of the Florida sinkhole that swallowed the guy in his bed? | |
| M-E-H User ID: 35165172 03/03/2013 01:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29184782 This one resembles several recent sink holes. What is unusual to me is this one, like those, is perfectly round. This was engineered, maybe an ancient missile silo, storage facility, something like that maybe. Time, earth changes, probably filled it, covered it, and hardened, but never like the surrounding bedrock. This is ancient engineering. No doubt. I wonder if there is a reason we can't be shown any shots from above (TV stations would have a helicopter there in about five minutes). Perhaps it would show a perfectly round hole in the roof? David Brin wrote a great book called Earth. In it microscopic black holes generated by a CERN-like device are accidentally created and are on very high (or steep) elliptical orbits around the core of our planet. So they zip up out of the ground and go way out, then are pulled back, fall back towards the planet, and all the way through the planet and out again. I think the size of the hole (assuming there is any hole at all) is too large for this scenario, but David Brin hadn't counted on CERN TRYING to create Stranglets, a form of matter we know almost nothing about, on purpose. Maybe they succeeded? M.E.H. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30434435 03/03/2013 01:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to do a lot of caving and cave hunting. Good way to find and undiscovered or explored cave is to find an old sink hole and dig at the bottom for an opening into an intact cave system. Some were to filled with overburden and some opened into huge caverns or long tunnel complexes. If man fell into cavern and managed to not get smothered by overburden or drowned in an underground lake or river he could still be alive without light. Now travelling too far in those tunnels without light would likely be dangerous but it could be possible. If there was water down there he would be able to drink. Caves are full of crickets and other things that he could eat if desperate. Air might be fresh enough if another ventalation shaft from another sink hole wasn't too distant. Brother claims he heard him screaming for help. Drill a hole into that cavern and drop a camera and mike already cowardly rescuers. What if that was one of your family members down there. |

| nutmeg User ID: 35189740 03/03/2013 01:29 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why demo the pad. why not let the hole swallow the shit and get it over with. It makes for better video to see it all fall in and sink to somewhere. So now what, they gonna evacuate the neighborhood and make it a sink hole pandemic where everybody looses and nobody has a home to go to and all their shitz gone too. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18237036 Hopefully there will be so many donations that all these people will have much better homes than they had before. Those homes were not very nice. The man whose brother fell into the sinkhole is on a video on CNN crying that he works two jobs and now he will have nothing and his child will have nothing.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25832396 Yeah, stupid bastards! I would assume the guy is still alive and living the good life in Middle Earth. Usually when someone is buried alive and is not seen or heard from for more than a day, it's probably safe to assume the poor fucker is dead. Maybe that's just me though. |

| The Sonic Dreamer User ID: 32262781 03/03/2013 01:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Btw, OP: 5, p! These are the types of questions we need to be asking! How did 5 other people escape "unharmed"??? One even jumped in the hole but could not save his brother. Not one photo? No video? How could they call the search off? I have read reports the hole has "grown" to 60 feet deep. The man did not die instantly, according to the man's brother- who heard him "hollering" for help. This story is quite odd.

How can a sink hole swollow his room without taking the floor/ joists which are tied in with the structure. This large a hole would have pulled in most of the house. Was there a basement? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30120084 03/03/2013 01:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WARNING: Complete supposition on my part. What if this is merely a way to clean out a neighborhood for a development? Condemn and raze all the houses, then sell it to a developer to "remedy" the terrain and put in a development of some sort. Think Kelo vs New London Connecticut with out all the messy time in court or the bad public relations... Again, just letting the mind wander... no evidence one way or the other. |
