Once they are old news, what do you do with a giant 300 foot sinkhole?

Make it a tourist attraction, boot out the poor residents, revitalise the neighbourhood, and move in the rich folk.

Maybe BP will plug it up. ;) ... although they're not very good at that, are they?

Hey! :eek:

the pic was on CNN today. They say it's the result of a hurricane, but it's OBVIOUSLY a Hellmouth!

I see several.

wasn't there some talk about the sinkholes being related to the "Death Comet" (ok meteorite) that hit the earth and wiped out the dinosaurs? The pattern of the sinkholes was roughly where the ejecta from the impact crater would have landed?

those aren't pipes--those are the Sarlacc's tentacles!

A tourist trap as it were? Maybe put a souvenir kiosk there and when the tourists gather...BAM! activate the sink holiness...

what a crazy place, I'd be scared to go there.

Here you go ladies and gentlemen! Step right up!
Have you ever seen such an easy garbage dump? Just back the trucks up and dump! The Endless Landfill.

Buy it now and we'll throw in the Sewage Special at no additional charge!

Plumb all your city sewage right over the edge. In it all goes. Away flush all your municipal troubles!

A godsend for any large city. All the cities are clamoring for them. These two lucky cities are just the first recipients!
Get your order in NOW!

If the underground water was able to shift that much dirt... I wonder if it could shift garbage, and, if so... Where would it go?!

Out of sight, out of mind - into the groundwater. All the garbage you can dump for the low low price of 100 Quetzal and your health.
