That's so scary. Incredible photos. I feel incredibly nervous looking at the yellow car in the first photo.

That's such a very primal fear: the ground opening up. A dreamlike fright scenario.
Powerful pictures. Thank ye.

Those photos are indeed deeply, primally terrifying. Though my head knew more or less what to expect, my heart said OH NO and started pumping faster.

I read "Giant Hole Opens up in German Town" and thought I wonder what the hours are.

Gonna get interesting if the Earth is pissed enough to retaliate.

This is like the second time this has happened this year. WTF.

plus, another instance of vehicle "plunging." It's usually a bus, and involves a cliff or hillside, but in the news, vehicles don't fall, they always plunge. I believe this has been noted on the 'filter, but am far too lazy to look.

Scary. Good thing no one got hurt and the nearest building is a garage, not a home.

And what do "they" do after something like that? Does the city fill it up? Kiss that land good-bye and build a bridge?
