This is absolutely ridiculous. |

03.03.13 | That's just outrageous, I mean seriously |

03.03.13 | yeah i saw that yesterday shit aint right |

03.03.13 | What a way to go out.
"How'd you die?"
"Damn sinkhole swallowed me and my house" |
KjSwantko
03.03.13 | That's one of the most terrifying ways to die. I'd rather be stabbed to death probably. |
Wolfhorde
03.03.13 | Sucks hard. Although you also have to say that shit like this can happen because of human stupidity (aka being cheap) because hey, safety regulations are for pansies. Although I hope it wasn't the case. |
KjSwantko
03.03.13 | What? Sinkholes have nothing to do with safety regulations. They're basically undetectable. |

03.03.13 | Damn, and I just watched Tremors last night |
MalleusMaleficarum
03.03.13 | they have a lot to do with safety regulations, actually. especially in coastline areas such as the one this guy lived in/around in Florida. the thing is though, this guys' house passed the inspection (which DOES check for sinkhole vulnerability) just a few months back, and voila.. a sinkhole appears. Obviously they can develop fast, but especially in those areas.. |
Mookid
03.03.13 | Agreed with Kj.
Florida seems to be notorious for sinkholes |

Eclecticist
03.03.13 | Sinkholes happen everywhere. In Ottawa a few months ago a sinkhole opened up randomly in the middle of a busy downtown street and suck in vehicle that was parked along the curb. There was one last year too that caused about $32,000 worth of plumbing damage. |

With all due respect, I do like you Weeping but fuck you. Without Florida there'd be no Death, Cynic, Atheist, Brutality, Obituary, Hot Water Music or Morbid Angel.
I doubt he's dead, he probably just went through a portal, become Cthulhu's human agent and is now pounding some deep one pussy. |

"well yeah. the ground is essentially clay in Florida. lol"
yeah was gonna say that right off the bat, but they can be caused and influenced by man made causes like construction as well so think of what possibilities that could open up. sinkholes are a apparently common occurrence throughout the world. |

nothing against the people that live there, i have family there and most sputbros from there are super cool. but if i had my choice of what state to live in, it'd definitely be towards the bottom |
BallsToTheWall
03.03.13 | If I had a choice it would be an island hanging somewhere off the east coast where I could build a castle and be protected against zombie raids. |
WeepingBanana
03.03.13 | wylie we need to build a castle in iceland and at the middle will be a geyser that would power everything, including our megaton laser blaster to thwart the mearcstapa grendelkin from afar |
BallsToTheWall
03.03.13 | in addition to our trained army of laser equipped sharks and polar bears. Bjork will be our queen. |

03.03.13 | florida sinkholes are so common that the home insurance companies are required to cover sinkholes |
BallsToTheWall
03.03.13 | Well, I suppose every area has their problems, like the mid west and tornadoes, the west with earthquakes and us with hurricanes and sinkholes. |
