Whats up with that. didn't look round to me, but rather a prefect rectangle. almost about a foot in from either wall. I am starting to think more about this underground lab, or something that these guys where working on and it collapsed or gave way. That hole just looked to man made by the shape. |
blueflowers User ID: 35559134 United States 03/04/2013 12:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The sinkhole is about 20 feet to 30 feet across and may be 30 feet deep, said Bill Bracken, president of an engineering company assisting emergency workers. The hole was originally reported to be 100 feet across, but that is the diameter of the safety zone surrounding it, Bracken said. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35297231 "It started in the bedroom, and it has been expanding outward and it's taking the house with it as it opens up," he said.

If it's only 30 ft deep, why is it that they couldn't rescue him? Lazy or lying, one of the two. I read that the police won't pronounce the man dead, they told the family they have to petition the court to get an official death pronouncement. Weird...? |

If it is 60+ feet deep then what ever falls into it would not be retrievable from the depth that bucket can go. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 10539402 United States 03/04/2013 12:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.examiner.com] Reports from property owners located about 1/2 mile from the sinkhole itself indicate that a contractor had been using a vibratory compactor in a new subdivision, Parsons Wood, during the weeks preceding the collapse of the sinkhole under the home at 240 Faithway Dr., in Seffner. Parsons Wood is a K. Hovnanian Homes development, with several homes now under construction. This new subdivision is located about 1700 ft. in a straight line from the deadly sinkhole. Absent any analytics or subsurface geologic information, these two events appear to be unrelated, and apparently nothing more than an unexpected coincidence. Reports also indicate that the sinkhole property owner had a sinkhole survey/analysis performed sometime during the last couple of years with negative results. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22783731 United States 03/04/2013 01:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If this supposed hole is 100 feet deep, why is that piece of equipment digging only a feet deep? What is the purpose of them digging now? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33415823 Seriously. There is a body down there isn't there? Where is the respect for the guy? lets tear down the house and have as much stuff as possible fall in then we will dig at it with a backhoe. This is ridiculousness. How much more time and resources is being devoted to taking down this house then were devoted to trying to rescue this guy. Even more reason to think this whole hole is a hoax. |

Well here it is live and you can see the hole and the walls around that bedroom are still standing. You look like fools now. I was given bad karma yesterday for saying it was possible. I was called illiterate and stupid.
