You know you could make all kinds jokes from that headline, but imagine the horror of that! Literally falling into hell. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
 
I don't understand. It says it's a 20ft wide and 20 ft deep hole. In my calculation that's about 6 meter wide and 6 meters deep. While that is a big hole, I fail to understand how this guy can be missing in that hole and they cannot locate him.
 
it is not just a hole, sinkholes form when flowing underground water washes away the subsoil. Gradually the top layer thins out and collapses into a very large underground cavern. It is also seldom one collapse but a series of continous collapses much like an avalanche as the edges/rim is destabilized

They are now saying it is 30ft in diameter and over 100ft deep and expanding. An engineering firm working with the local fire department (for just these such instances) are using ground penetrating radar and believe the house will eventually be swallowed. Houses around this house have also been evacuated. Scary *hit man.
 
Still standing as of this morning, but apparently it is but a shell. They have cordoned off the house about 100ft in radius from the center of the sinkhole.
 
Oh has that been determined? I know it is assumed, but didn't realize that there was an official statement. I thought they were waiting for Beelzebub to nail the proclamation on the upside down Jesus statue.
