Surveillance video shows the moment when a 100-feet-wide sinkhole swallows a soccer field

A sinkhole swallowed bleachers, a light pole, and 100 feet of soccer fields at Gordon Moore Park in Alton, Illinois.

All they needed is a small boy singing national anthem and Bane's entry to go along with this.

Merci du partage! Mais où se trouve les vidéos des mineurs expliquant ce glissement? Existent elles? Qu'elle compagnie? Stéph.

What happened to the Giant Pole???

[@ValuedTeamMember]

It's a shame the band wasn't practicing at that time (no disrespect). It would have just been nice to have some background music during the video clip

[@garyb6219]

Nice.

This looks like really bad CGI.

[@alfredbautista3165]

Imagine how many more sinkholes out there that are waiting to open up and much bigger

[@j.w.r3730]

They didn't build on top of a mine. They dug a mine out under this town,and I wonder is this is going to be the only time.

[@tibchy144]

rule no.1 when mining: dont dig under settlemets

Maybe not dig a mine under a suburban school.

Because the Americans don’t know how to play soccer 😂

[@garyb6219]

To gauge the drop in case the field ever collapsed.

[@charlesballard5251]

The light pole was at a junction of two soccer fields side by side and a football field running lengthwise abutting them. Google search and you can see more.
