fuck it would suck to get devoured by one of those, terrible way to die, especially if you survived the fall somehow (if that is even possible, it might not be possible) imagine being stuck at the bottom of one of those | ||

There isn't much you can do about it. and to people wondering, the first sinkhole in 2007 was about 300 ft. deep. I had a class the semester called natural disasters and this was one of the events we studied, other than that I can't give you a better source. | ||

By the way I used to live like a 8 blocks from this one... know a family that live in the same block, thank God they are all just fine. Though they moved to the other side of the city for some time. | ||

How did they fix the first one?? Spanish: + Show Spoiler + Los trabajos de relleno se llevan a cabo en 3 fases. La primera fase consiste en la introducción de tuberías para reencauzar el agua que se mantiene en el fondo del hundimiento; la segunda fase contempla la perforación de 4 túneles de 50 metros de largo, con 50 centímetros de diámetro y una inclinación de 45 a 60 grados para introducir el lodocreto; y la tercera fase tiene por objeto el relleno del hoyo con lodocreto. Ojalá que esta tragedia sea una lección aprendida para las autoridades responsables y que en el futuro no se repitan experiencias similares. Translation: It took 3 steps: 1. They re-route the water with new pipes. 2. Then they made 4 tunnels of 50 meters long and 50 centimers wide with a slope between 45º and 60º, that to be able to introduce "lodocreto" (mud-concrete will be the literal translation) in the hole. 3. Fill the hole with the lodocreto. It is cost was $2,750,000 and the works last for around 8 months if I recall correctly. | ||
