Earth Scars - holes to die for



A picture is worth a thousand words - these are impressively big holes. Is there room for more holes this size elsewhere - sure there is. The earth is a big place.

The scale can only really be appreciated in the shots that include tiny houses and trucks.

The best commentary:

The size of the hole is such that wind currents inside cause a downdraft that has resulted in helicopters being sucked in and crashing. Good to know the area above it is now a no-fly zone.
