My wife tells me that in the part of PA where she grew up, this sort of
thing could happen (though she hadn't heard of anything on this scale
there); in SW PA, coal rights under private property are mostly already
owned by coal mining companies, and occasionally they can have a mine
collapse that takes down part of the property above it.

Are you kidding? A huge hole opened up in the King of Prussia area a couple
decades ago. They dumped 10 or 12 dump trucks of cement into it before they
found it coming out in a quarry a few miles away. So they said "Screw it"
and rebuilt 276 in a big curve around the hole.

That lake wasn't always there.

bizarre world... can you imagine being in a building, enjoying your coffee and
then suddenly going freefall?

They moved just a segment of road? Must have been a small mine.

Heh.
IIRC, they were still in the process of building the road at that point, so
it wasn't all *that* difficult to go around. It only added a couple months
to the project, IIRC.

It looks photoshoped.
Seriously, why is the hole such a perfect circle, with exactly uniform
lighting which doesn't seem to match the surroundings. And why does it
stop about 20 feet down?
I don't know if this is real, but it definitely doesn't *look* real.
(Then again, neither do flames in zero-gravity...)

Yeah, it's just more of this...

Except this time, he really outdid himself, since it's viewable from all
angles. ;-)
