Before It’s News – by Mort Amsel
A sinkhole nearly 200-foot wide in China’s Sichuan Province has swallowed at least 12 buildings and is expected to keep growing.
The sinkhole opened up around 12:40 a.m. Friday in the city of Guangyuan, Shanghaiist reported. As of 6:30 p.m., the sinkhole had swallowed 12 buildings, but no one was seriously injured.
Many who have encounter sinkholes have not been so lucky. In March, a sinkhole opened up underneath the bedroom of a sleeping Florida man, swallowing him entirely.
It’s a miracle that nobody was seriously injured. Sinkholes are more dangerous than Marijuana. That must be a one big sinkhole. Although now its been at least sort of filled in with buildings. Depending on how big it is. Once I had a sinkhole at the end of my driveway in the road, ended up swallowing a car. Bad plumbing. The management up there sucks. -Mort
The Pits of the Abyss ?
Where has all the dirt gone?
If flowing water has eroded the ground,
it has to flow and end up somewhere.
The hole in the first picture is either Photoshopped or it is hundreds of feet deep.
Photoshoped?
Inconceivable!
Has no one watched the massively lengthily video (yes, all 46 seconds of it!)
Hey Confuscious, I was thinking that same thing. At first I was thinking that it was mostly just the U.S., but it seems that more and more are happening in China as well, so it is not just one country which leads me to believe that either the elite are forming more tunnels underground or something really bad is happening underneath the Earth around the world.
Does anyone know if they do fracking in China? Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to that one, but I guess it wouldn’t surprise me. Not sure if that could be the answer. I’m sure it’s probably something more to it than that, though.
Also, I agree with you in that these holes all seem very round. Too perfectly round as if it were planned that way.
Either way, something big is going on and the MSM and government are keeping mum about it.
As always, the MSM just says, “Oh look, a hole in the ground. It’s amazing! In other news……” without even asking the big question of how it got there in the first place. Uh…Hello?? Great reporting, guys!
Whoops!!! Shhh!!! It’s a secret! Dammit! I ruined the whole damn thing! lol
Yes, they frack.

This story, and the next one I’m posting, specifically speak of the Sichuan Province.

What the frack?
Sinkholes more dangerous than marijuana? The remark of a genius!
I thought so too. An herb that cures cancer and glaucoma among other things. Obviously has never researched it.
I think he was being sarcastic. (or facetious, rather)
I’ve posted many articles by Mort. I can tell you without a doubt he was definitely being facetious/sarcastic.
It does seem incredibly round, as if it were drilled, but I can’t imagine anyone having a motive to drill that hole.
The circle and sphere are very common, naturally occurring shapes, as in bubbles, and planets, and you’ll never see a natural rectangle.
I”m going to guess that wind or water was swirling around in there for many years until it finally undermined the surface.
that round one at the top of the page is photoshopped.
Agreed. It is entirely too clean and perfect. Doesn’t resemble photos and videos of real sinkholes (incl. the video in this story), at all. I think it is an illustration, meant to make a point.
Amazing that need be pointed out at all.
The sink hole is not as deep as is wide. The main pic is a (basically) photo stock pic – obviously.
The video, of which I am sure you have all watched, granted it is a whoppin’ 46 seconds, shows the video from the scene.
I am unaware of any bottomless recently formed sink holes. Usually they are slow thus alerting the people that something fk’d up this way comes; the drones aside (see Darwin).
