I didn't know "caught on camera" meant to "take a picture after the fact". I'll be sure to remember that with this channel.

Malmberget, Sweden is a hotspot for sinkholes, the nearby mine is eating up the town. Malmberget was a town of 10.5k in 1980 but has been in rapid decline since then because of sinkholes. The 2020 census had Malmberget at 927 people and East Malmberget (split from the west due to sinkholes) at 397 people. The mining company has to periodically buy out the people whose homes are at risk but untill then the home owners are basically stuck with an unsellable property.

Tornados are terrifyingly beautiful, but sinkholes are just terrifying. Could happen any time, anywhere, and to anyone.

I discovered a sinkhole under the mall in paducah Kentucky! We were installing a liner in the drain system and during inspection we noticed a rushing water sound coming from underneath the concrete! Turns out a 2” water main was leaking and created a 10’ deep hole down to the sewer line! Right under the food court!

@2:25 you said "massive sinkhole" and it got me thinking: every sink hole, no matter its size, has the same exact mass: 0 kg!

I remember as a young girl mom talking about a sinkhole that took in a few houses. That was in Quebec, Canada. She said a farmer had gone to the council and told them that land wasn’t good to build on because there was an underground river. And it went on for a few years that he kept telling them how the land was shifting and changing. They ignored his petitions.

So they built a small subdivision on the land and just as the farmer said the land was shifting. One night, a man left his wife and newborn baby sleeping in the house. When you heard noise outside he went out, went out on the street and then all of a sudden there was this huge sound, and he turned around quickly and saw his house disappear into a hole and it was immediately covered up with earth. Mom heard that the wife and baby were gone but she never heard what happened after that concerning that house but there were several more houses that ended up in the giant sinkhole.

@ 7:35, there is a pipe that is over 50 feet deep below the surface. That must have been one expensive dig to put that pipe in place . . . . or the whole place is a giant landfill of sand.

Surprising that the footage of the lake / sinkhole that was just swallowing trees like they were tufts of grass (in the US?) didn't make it in. Scary stuff.

Besides all the great footage this channel shows, on various subjects, I love the fact that whoever the guy is who does all the narratives is so well versed in the pronunciation of just about any city on the planet. Not only that, but he can string sentences together that are totally understandable. Thanks for having a wonderfully entertaining channel as well as being educated.

Most or many of the lakes in central and southern Florida are round. Look at any map. Note Lake Jackson near Sebring, , or Lake Narcoossee south of Orlando, or the hundreds of lakes near Winterhaven, , , these are all sink holes infilled with water. Nearly every one of them

[groovygranny]

Incredible how large these hole can be

[greghavens]

That is one helluva deep pipe in the San Salvador sinkhole. You can see the typical storm drain just below the street. But about halfway down is a bigger pipe. Just an observation.

[theclockworkcadaver]

07:37 that's a SERIOUSLY deep pipe! In the middle of the screen, not the one directly below the street. Anyone know what it could be for, and why it's so deep?

Some sinkholes in England are caused by very old mining works, in one case, new houses had been built on a Tudor times mine, that everyone thought had been filled in, but clearly hadn't been.
Never seen ones this big in the UK, thankfully, I dread to think what living in a country where this happens, is like.

Thought the Corvette Museum in Kentucky might have been a part of the collection. Maybe not deep enough. Good video though.

i live in Florida and there is a sinkhole near my house but that one looks like its been there long before the area came under development

[karenschunk]

I live in extremely close proximity to vast quarry/mine. One gets used to the blast Shockwaves. The seismic rumble. Sometimes the blast jettisons massive clouds of brown detritus. It is rare but it happens. When we get a lot of rain, snow, ice, and over salted roads we quip about a fictitious sinkhole. This has been a running joke for many years. This year a small one opened exactly where we speculated. By small I mean it took out a two lane street, so that is only about twenty four feet, which does not compare to the scale of the holes in this video. It was simply filled in. It absolutely will sink again. It is terrifying. We all somehow knew....

[KaiHenningsen]

Not sinkholes so much (though they do happen), but in Germany, a common reason for earthquakes is, indeed, collapsing potash mines. (Not just potash, but those are the strongest.)

[Him_He_Me]

l agree.... absolutely terrifying when they are that enormous!!!!
a sinkhole caused by sewerage is my worst nightmare
