Look at the "HUGE" sinkhole everyone!

the hole is the entire floor to the left of the door shown in the pic.

The beginning of the video blocks it due to the crane.
Usually when they refer to x amt of ft they refer to the entire unstable area not the size of the actual hole. this one looks like maybe 10x12 exposed at this point and the rest ready to go at any time. Depth?? dont know.

They said they'll be able to get a better look once the house has been cleared away.

Wouldnt the floorboards have stayed?

Unless the guys floor was concrete i dunno.

it's some kind of diversion

watch your back

probably was concrete, most homes here are, and especially the older ones

^^^This. Poor guy. Just imagine something like this happening to any one of us.

I thought that dam TV falling in there on top of him must have broken his bones..no wiggle room where he could have escaped his furniture.
Then they could have demolished that part of the house first thing and pulled him out. They could have gotten him out instead left him there to suffer. What a terrible way to go.

have they pulled his body out yet?

Umm.. half way through the video, it blacked out. Refreshed it, and the entire video is gone.. wth?

It may be possible the hole is 30 feet wide UNDER the floor of the home. Meaning the house is sitting on edges. The smaller hole is just where the floor fell out.

Were you using a computer or your calculator?

errr... no


so the hole covers the floor of that tiny room and goes no further. a perfectly square hole?! that really is unusual

Years ago I was with a group that mapped caves, and I can assure you that there doesn't have to be a huge hole in the ground for there to be a massive cavern below...

Party pooper

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of overcompensation for the lack of pictures of this particular hole. I notice on each story, they add like 15 pics of the outside of the house, the brother crying, various LE officials, then pictures of sinkholes around the world.

Lest we forget, an "expert" description of the sinkhole:


"I cannot tell you why it has not collapsed yet," Bill Bracken, the owner of an engineering company called to assess the sinkhole, said of the home. He described the earth below as a "very large, very fluid mass."

"This is not your typical sinkhole," said Hillsborough County administrator Mike Merrill. "This is a chasm. For that reason, we're being very deliberate."

No hole. I have seen a basement collapse way bigger then that

oh i agree but this whole thing still smells like a smelly thing in a smelly bag

Why would they make it up? Florida is known for having sinkholes...

"Fluid" such as water or lava?

Why is this smelly to you?

chasm
the name of the company the guy works for is madrid. like new madrid..

Maybe they are getting people mentally ready for when the LA sinkhole blows? Psyop?

lol, dont ask me dude, i rather hope they arent making it up, but they dont make it exactly believable when the hole shrinks each time they report it

I am thinking it was a graboid like on the movie Tremors, because the current info makes no sense now.

the live stream.... ugh....

*pulls hair out*

fluid mass? AND a chasm?


fluid mass of what?


usually strange stuff like this has 'experts' all over it, yet here we have some guy sounding like hes just making it up as he goes along


we need sinkhole experts STAT

youd expect there to be solid ground under the pavement

Round hole below the floor falling out, which is squared.

The hole is probably under 90% of the house. Leaving only edges holding it up.

If you know how a house is built, you'll understand why only a square portion fell out.
