It wasn't the Silver Surfer.  They just found a colony of Atlantis that was buried thousand of years ago in a massive eruption.  Like Pompeii.  Nothing to see here, move along. :noid

I saw this yesterday and was amazed by the photo (see below).  I thought it was a photoshop for sure but multiple news sites were reporting it and showing the photo.  But I was looking for more info on it than what was out there (a couple site covered it but two reported it with that picture saying the hole was only a couple stories deep.... didn't add up to the picture showing an almost bottomless chasm with no sign of the bottom or the three-story industrial building that fell down into it).  Thanks for reminding me to look for some followups on it today.

It is more than "100 feet deep".

Didn't this happen way back in 07?


It is interesting though, Ive done a lot of spelunking and seem my share of glory holes. All the natural one ive seen are jagged and non-uniform in shape.

When we went in the old abandon mines in china camp we found quite of few where the roof of the mines caved in and created a open air hole again never as round and uniform as this one.

Looks like an alien drill hole. :devil :bolt:

First thing I thought of was the new Star Trek movie.   Dang Romulans and their drills.
