    goddamn, that's scary, imagine the people living in those buildings surrounding the hole, they're probably shitting their pants.

    does anyone else look at those photos and think "This MUST be some giant prank, that picture looks so photoshopped" and then feel guilty about the real damage it caused.

    This happened a few years back, I guess I remembered it pretty fondly because I posted it :-)

    BTW - What do they do to this? Do they just barracade off this big in the middle of the town or how does the city operate w/ this?

    How do you even fix something like that? It has more gape than Taylor Rain's ass.
