This happened on Friday of this week...I'm surprised y'all didn't see this already. It was front page news on my AOL page. That pic just looks so scarey...like a scene a la Dante's Inferno
I heard about the sinkhole a few days ago, but whoa, I had no idea how bad it was! That thing is HUGE!!!!! Funny how you linked the news from New Zealand.
I did see on CNN today that they have recovered a third body from the sinkhole. How sad.
