Mining company: Whoopsie! The good fortune that this occurred when no one was on the field does not negate the fact that multiple players could have been killed if this happened during a practice or game. This is criminal negligence!

[@makirichi]

No, near-miss accident. If they knew, they wouldn't proceed that way. It's not in the hands of a jack-of-all-trades master of none, it was working under a rigid protocol of engineering process. Now they are in the investigation. Let's see what happens and let's all learn more from it rather than focus on blame and lawsuits. Dear public opinion, so fun to watch 😅

[@bigkushyindustriesllc5710]

That mining company is criminally negligent

[@charlesbarkely3021]

"were going to work with the city" is code for the mining company asking for public funds....nah you're going to fix this yourself and foot the bill lol

[@peterbui3733]

No one still listened to Commissioner Gordon.

[@XXtheJUMPoffXX]

That’s a huge field goal

[@techmouse.]

Who puts a light post in the middle of the field?

[@makirichi]

The guy who designed 2 fields on one field

[@techmouse.]

@@makirichi Yes, thank you. I was looking for a serious answer. I've been waiting 2 weeks for a serious, non-joke answer in the comments section where people make jokes. I was worried somebody was going to say something funny, but then you came along. So thanks. 👍

[@Salty-Crackers]

Who builds a soccer field for athletes on top of an old mine?? Sounds like shady business

[@rn2787]

Is that demon speak for "please don't sue us!"

[@username01012]

Dang

[@RR_1138]

It’s the Tesla of Soccer Fields

[@underduress5761]

It went from a soccer field to a golf course because it got "a hole-in-one" 🥴🤤

[@WaltBellona]

Don’t be picking on the miners it happens🇺🇸🏴‍☠️😎

[@orlandojohnson5742]

Wow! Hope the mining ⛏️ paid off! Talk about a dangerous job! Glad no one was hurt! Ok seen enough today! Good nite people! 👋🏻

[@Pattim4762]

[@Odin33356]

When California goes Yellowstone goes so we mine the fault lines at the salt n sea for lithium and subsidize electric cars 😂

[@Youtubesuckz976]

Soccer is gay anyway

[@eliafuimaono]

"Well, that's nice of them"

[@carl-cr7rp]

Luckily no one was there at the time.

[@Fordgroup00]

This raises MORE questions than answers

[@astronorthwet636]

This is one of the most frightening things I can think of.

[@promakos962]

@NoNo-wy4rjYou don’t have to shoehorn your imaginary religious threats into random news stories.

[@Fordgroup00]

@NoNo-wy4rj Only for you

[@Wrath6909]

@NoNo-wy4rjsinkholes have been going on for many many years 💀

[@gc3k]

@NoNo-wy4rj Your devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes

[@carrillo100100]

When is he going to return ? ​@NoNo-wy4rj

[@seandonahue8464]

Who would have thought that if you dig a hole, what is above may fall in it?! Who’d of thought?

[@gilwood7530]

Take all the weirdest things you can imagine and add crack ...that is todays AMERICA

[@smithjones3548]

Wonder if the Gotham Rogues and Rapid City Monuments were scheduled to play?

[@christinagonzalez5851]

Omg!! That is scary.

[@davemitchell6281]

If only Biden was standing there.

[@LB_H]

[@YH-uz9bs]

If only the 2 debate podiums were there

[@Iwasnevergivenaname-b9m]

He wasn't there because he's living in your head, rent free.

[@jonnythreat]

Of course someone would make a sink hole political

[@jonnythreat]

Did Royal crawl out of there?

[@B3b2022]

[@makirichi]

[@bigmike1547]

Is it just me or does that look so fake?! 😲🤣 dude that looks so not real man wth

[@Fordgroup00]

And a “mining” accident

[@paulzisk5174]

A mining job under a kids play field

[@Fordgroup00]

Right!? Weird

[@20alphabet]

Btw... soccer isn't a sport.

[@makirichi]

Interesting, isn't it? 🤔 it could be well designed but executed poorly in terms of operation, coordination, self-entitled subjects, replacement guy, and faulty equipment. We live in a sophisticated era folks. Brace yourself. We wanted it, we got it. Backward is cavemen and candle lantern 🤠🤡💩🙈🙉🙊 that's us

[@mr.originaloneniceguy]

Is that you call A Hole In One

[@buggzo]

I bet mining under playing fields increases injury risk because the ground underneath is unsolid but undetectable.

[@jonDoe-ml3jq]

Wow if anyone believes the lie they just said is foolish and should just give me all their money

[@stevecoronado8608]

Looks like the democratic party.

[@EricSmith-qm7xb]

How much more in the area will fall and doesn't it seem odd that it's so Squar!

[@Fordgroup00]

Definitely weird

[@condew6103]

There is a town in the hard coal region of Pennsylvania, where my dad grew up, where the coal mine under the town caught fire and can't be put out. So this is going to happen to the whole town some day.

[@jasminef6263]

That’s going to be fun to fix

[@shawnmccurdy6732]

Looks like Timone tried to make a skylight in the tunnel. But happy noone was using the field

[@manafront]

[@heyyall1912]

Wow!!, 😡 as 🤬

[@QbutNotTheQ]

Never divide by zero.
