User ID: 22439147 United States 03/04/2013 06:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Haha that's good. But actually, it would take more than a fat ass to make cured concrete collapse. 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. 4 in cured concrete, whether reinforced or not, doesn't crumble like glass. You should have stopped at the fat ass explanation. |

Spirituality is the opposite of religion, religion is a substitute for spirituality. Spirituality is a direct connection to Creator The Most high. Anyone who inflicts pain on others will suffer themself from that pain. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. |

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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34249989 It looks like a pic that a 3D artist would draw on a sidewalk. [link to www.google.com] |

I wrote this little article for GLP to read, hoping to dispel any misconceptions. Quoting: ~Andariel~ Here is how they are formed. In the case of Seffner, they're created with a backhoe under cover of darkness. Shills will be getting their just desserts, so I'd be careful about joining their ranks. They're rank! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31036137 United States 03/05/2013 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |
