Surveillance video shows the moment when a 100-feet-wide sinkhole swallows a soccer field

A sinkhole swallowed bleachers, a light pole, and 100 feet of soccer fields at Gordon Moore Park in Alton, Illinois.

All they needed is a small boy singing national anthem and Bane's entry to go along with this.

Built on top of a working mine.
Local city contractor?

Light pole went down at free-fall speed. No one above would have made it alive...a complete bottom-out.

[jasondillon]

Looking at the overhead photos: where did that light pole go?

[garyb]

I'd rather be working over a mine than over working in a mine.

"I'm done. That pole was an easy dig."

[jrco]

We come here not as conquerors but as liberators, to return control of this city to the people.

Is it just me or do the overhead photos look like CGI? 0:34

[Timbrock]

Why was there a light pole in the middle of the field?

[mopthermopther]

It’s still a mystery.
If you have an explanation -
let’s hear it

It's a shame the band wasn't practicing at that time (no disrespect). It would have just been nice to have some background music during the video clip

[lockhrt]

I'm just glad this working mine didn't explode during the game play.

So this is where Lukaku is hiding most of the match !

[tibchy]

rule no.1 when mining: dont dig under settlemets

[agneteht]

The question that matters is " how many washing machines is that? Clearly less than a football pitch so that is not sn appropriate measure

[SBSimulationsFerroviairesEEP]

Merci du partage! Mais où se trouve les vidéos des mineurs expliquant ce glissement? Existent elles? Qu'elle compagnie? Stéph.

[potterj]

Looks like the worlds largest coffee filter.

[j.w.r]

They didn't build on top of a mine.
They dug a mine out under this town, and I wonder is this is going to be the only time.

[Tugela]

Wierd how all the grass stayed together, almost like it is an artificial carpet!

Are you sure this wasn't one of the child trafficking tunnels ? They seem to be everywhere throughout the USA.
