Sinkholes.
« on: May 27, 2015, 12:30:54 PM »
I'm fascinated by them.

Check out this one that happened at Table Rock just a couple days ago!



And this one that swallowed a three story factory and is more than 100' wide in Guatemala City!

How about the one in the middle of that corvette museum that swallowed up all of the cars!

sinkholes are terrifying. if i ever got swallowed up by one, i imagine plummeting 30 feet, surviving, and feeling a sense of hope until a grizzly bear comes walking over and eats me.
