Jesus be a really really really really really big fence.

This is heartbreaking but at least no deaths have been reported since it happened (not from the hole anyway).
According to the article, people have been complaining of weak structures and shifting ground since 2005. Now that the hole is open, some say it sounds like there's an underground river down there. Oy vey.
