Re: Sinkhole 101 - Mysteries revealed
Why, in the case of the FL sinkhole, did the concrete slab fail? Even if there was a hole underneath, the conc. floor would have remained intact, wouldn't it?
 Quoting: Gladio


It probably did for a long time, and this guy was probably a heavy fella...by which I mean a fat ass.
 Quoting: BRIEF


Haha that's good.

But actually, it would take more than a fat ass to make cured concrete collapse.
 Quoting: Gladio


Concrete really isn't that strong when not reinforced with rebar or wire mesh, and over a big hole and not properly supported it will crumble like glass.
 Quoting: BRIEF


4 in cured concrete, whether reinforced or not, doesn't crumble like glass.

You should have stopped at the fat ass explanation.

Is it me or is that 5th pic down a perfect circle? That looks like a view right into the fucking hollow earth to me, that's an amazing picture. Naturally formed perfectly circular hole like that in the middle of a city that deep.. crazy. Hollow earth books often talk about the many rivers that run under major cities underground, maybe that's where the dirt goes.

Hello everyone. I wrote this little article for GLP to read, hoping to dispel any misconceptions.

Here is how they are formed.

In the case of Seffner, they're created with a backhoe under cover of darkness.

 Quoting: ~Andariel~



Notice the cracks in the soil running along the streets?

Almost like there was a massive cavern deep in there and the construction making the streets cracked the layer above.

I suppose the crew wouldn't know if they made a HUGE crack from a jack hammer. It doesn't take too much to start a crack as they spread on their own.

Or it cracked because it didn't get any rain water after the road was made. Dried it up and cracked.

In fact, most sink holes are thought to be created by water leaving the area. Preventing water penetration from construction is a good way to do that.
