Story @ NatGeo
[–]chriscombs 288 points289 points290 points 2 months ago
We also published a gallery of more pictures of this sinkhole, as well as a slideshow round-up of sinkholes 'round the world. There's nothin' I love more than a good sinkhole picture! (Lie. There's one thing: a heinous pun.)
[–]5panks 66 points67 points68 points 2 months ago
What do you mean we? Do you work for NatGeo? Not criticizing just wondering.
[–]chriscombs 294 points295 points296 points 2 months ago
Yes, I'm the photo editor (meaning picture-picker) of National Geographic News online. We're a small crew based out of Nat Geo HQ in Washington, D.C. Lately we've been working with the magazine more closely, but the stuff I work on is internets-specific (suits me fine).

I'm guessing that he does in fact work for Nat Geo. Considering his user name is Chris Combs and there's a photo editor with that same name that works for Nat Geo.
Here's his twitter account.

I actually unsuccessfully googled to find out what happened to it in the 2 years since. Did they fill it? What did they fill it with? (And to the guy who was about to say they used my mom to plug it, fuck you. She has a glandular condition.)

[–]nuxxor 80 points81 points82 points 2 months ago*
The hole is 60' wide 300' deep. It would take around 31,415 cubic yards of soil to fill it.
A large tri-axle dump truck this size: http://i.imgur.com/BBY1q.jpg holds 19 yards.
So you would need around 1654 truck loads.

You could fill it with water and make an awesome (and possibly the deepest in the world) swimming pool. ignore that water is what caused the sinkhole initially

Lived in Guatemala:
The reason for the sink hole was nearby volcanic activity. It was VERY bad and it started raining ash. After the dust settled they had a collective cleaning of Guate (Guatemala for short, you know, just in case you couldn't figure that out and were confused(TLDR: Guate=Guatemala))
The country hired the garbage trucks to go from house to house collecting the ash from the volcano and used it to flll the sink hole. All is now well and I was able to drive through this intersection and you'd never know it happened. Crazy huh?
[–]liquidfist 5 points6 points7 points 2 months ago

[–]turnipradish 8 points9 points10 points 2 months ago
It entirely depends on the geology of the region. I'm not familiar with Guatemalan's geological setting, but the article says that the city is lying on unconsolidated (i.e. loose) pumice rock. That's a volcanic rock, so you might say that there's more volcanic rock underneath the bottom of the sinkhole.
Typically, the progression as you go downwards anywhere on land is a few (maybe a few 10's of) metres of soil, 25-70 km of continental crust (ROCKS!!!) and then a few thousand kilometres of mantle (gooey rock!!!) and then the core (metals!!!).
Oh, and there would probably be a lot of the same unconsolidated pumice at the bottom of the hole too, along with water. And a three-story building.
[–]daniyelly 12 points13 points14 points 2 months ago

"Most people have a fear of heights. I have a fear of widths."
-Stephen Wright
[–]supercore23 21 points22 points23 points 2 months ago
If it makes you feel better: Just remind yourself that anytime you're falling from higher than 40 feet you're just as dead. You can fall from 3 stories or 30, it probably won't matter.
So really, There's just one height to be afraid of.
[–]BreSput 23 points24 points25 points 2 months ago
While you might die from 40 feet, people have survived falls from thousands of feet. Anything above around 2,000 feet is equivalent as you will hit terminal velocity if you fall 2,000 feet. At that height you will hit the ground going around 120 mph. I believe the people that survived landed in an environment that helped absorb much of the impact.
40 feet will hurt, but probably won't kill most people if you know how to take the fall or are willing to break your legs (or both). I don't imagine many people could survive a fall (onto a hard surface) from much higher than that.
For perspective it's also good to note that it's entirely possible to die from a fall of only a couple feet, or while standing on the ground if you slip in just the right way. It's not the height of the ship, but the motion in the ocean, or something like that.
[–]Level_32_Mage 11 points12 points13 points 2 months ago
so, anything 50 feet or higher i should just relax and enjoy the ride?
edit: me and a friend visited the Grand Canyon one summer, and almost immediately strayed off the path onto cliff ledges that stuck pretty far out (yes not smart. didnt say it was.) it was sketchy as fuck. we both came to an agreement that if either of us fell, that the faller would yel as long/loud as they could so they the other person would know if it was worth while to hurry and get help. there really wasnt any chance of survival though. it was a straight drop at least 500 feet or so.
[–]sparton192 6 points7 points8 points 2 months ago
Yes because your head can only take so much pressure pushing downwards. Your body reaches a maximum velocity and at that point you're just screwed. In my opinion I'd just hope my mind blacks out and I die in your situation.

The trick is to not be scared that you will fall, but to accept that if you do, you will die. Do it without the rope.
[–]Loomar 82 points83 points84 points 2 months ago*
This is like a summary of a scene, here is the actual quote.
Bruce Wayne: I do fear death. I fear dying in here while my city burns. Blind Prisoner: Then make the climb. Bruce Wayne: How? Blind Prisoner: As the child did. Without the rope. Then fear will find you again.
Bruce Wayne: I do fear death. I fear dying in here while my city burns.

Bruce Wayne: How?

[–]tensegritydan 95 points96 points97 points 2 months ago

[–]Aniraco 35 points36 points37 points 2 months ago
The rope holds you back, literally, from making the jump. No one goes up without wearing the rope though.
[–]MWozz 75 points76 points77 points 2 months ago
I think it actually meant that, with the rope, there are no consequences for missing the jump, but without it you're motivated by the fear of death if you don't make it. Could be wrong, though.
[–]Lovebeard 21 points22 points23 points 2 months ago
I mean, yeah, that's the obvious logic that everyone would believe. But it would actually make sense beyond some metaphorical bullshit about fear that the rope is too short and actually prevents you from making an otherwise totally doable jump.
Because lets be serious, even if you're the daughter of Jesus Christ or some shit, the Batman will always be able to jump 10x farther than you no matter how scared he is.

I've seen a few pics of sinkholes before but that one terrified me. I mean what makes these things happen? Is it unstable geology?
[–]jsake 9 points10 points11 points 2 months ago
If a city is built on top of a large aquifer (porous ground that holds water) and uses that water at a faster rate than it is being replenished (which tends to be the case) it can lead to sinkholes. It's a pretty big problem in mexico city right now. This one looks like a pretty extreme though, couldn't say if that's the cause... Might be a combination of things.

"To the expert eye these holes are obviously made by the same species of gigantic sandworms recently discovered by astrobiologists on the planet Arrakis. Further, it's quite clear by the dark reddish brown color inside the hole that the government is keeping the wraps on this because they have located and intend to mine the spice melange from the hole, and corner the market in this valuable substance which extends life, expands consciousness, and is vital to space travel."

Guatemala is a land formed by volcanoes. There are thousands of cave formations and huge Cenotes and because all of the vegetation there are more to be found. The area that is now an abyss was probably loose soil over an undocumented cavern that finally succumbed to the elements.

What's down there? Besides rock and rubble, that is. Has anyone ventured into a massive sinkhole? Sent a robot? Is there adventure lurking? Diablo?
