Just a thiought. On the collapsing hotel, the fire alarm would be thd best way to alert everyone. Door to door is pointless.

[@BubblesMcGhee]

Also? There’s something to be said about not building on swampland. Mother Nature may want her land back.

[@nelliethursday1812]

Or build on the ocean like San Francisco's Marina district. Plus many other such ways of building on water throughout America and other places outside the US I am sure

[@lisaschuster686]

The Mexican Indians feed Mother Earth with these mouths.

[@vickythefist7062]

New fear unlocked . Turns out I'm not even completely safe as i sit here in my home on the sofa watching KZbin 😂😂

[@stevehall383]

The 2013 sinkhole in Seffner was only about two miles from my home. I had been in that neighborhood the weekend before this happened.

[@maxxmich]

You don't build on swamp land.

[@KellySwavel-jw2ir]

When you lose your home in this way if you did not buy sink hole insurance you won't get a dime for your home or belongings. 😞

[@eduardooramaeddie4006]

You could say, that sinkholes really belongs to earth 🌎, but humans decided to built houses 🏘

[@CrystalMouse1]

Thanks for saying so cuz I’d love it if the people asked the Seminole people how to build houses in the swamp rather than white people boxes

[@rcristy]

​@@CrystalMouse1 "white"??? 🙄

[@MusicLovingFool1]

Lol...on dead giants. The Earth is biological. What they call "Myths", may actually be "Truth". We will see.

[@diane1390]

Sink holes are interesting. You seriously 😒 can't learn enough about them. I've learned a lot from this video alone, and has really wetted my taste to learn more.

[@shahzadazulfiqar1]

Respect For A Very Scientific Work Regarding Sinkholes , A Serious Matter Could Appear To Be Global , All Praise To The Almighty Owner Of Earth Crust & Life Over It. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@stevenherrold5955]

they say florida is supposed to be some kind of paradise sound more like hell to me and if not a sink destroying your house its a hurricane you can't win so then i wonder why florida is not a great big wild life preserve

[@valkyrie1066]

Perhaps it should be ONLY resorts....It's a beautiful place to visit, but...to LIVE there? (1 year in Tampa) Oh, no, no, no. I have a whole list of reasons. We can visit to view the swamps and alligators.

[@hellooutthere8956]

They started filling in the everglades until they became protected when their ecological importance was realized. Corporations and profit. Trump and his "drill baby drill" idiocy.

[@vickythefist7062]

Don't forget alligators 😂😂 and mosquitos not my idea of fun times!!

[@margyrowland]

Not such a bad idea

[@mjleger4555]

And a town on the mid-east coast of Florida, is the shark-bite capital of the world! Between sinkholes, heat and humidity, hurricanes, etc., you won't catch me even visiting there anymore! I lived by the ocean for years and loved it, but it was in the northwest of the US, and now I live in the country, in the mountains in the northwest inland and love the snow, quiet and serenity of a small town nearby, so I'll live it out the rest of my life here!

[@prahfetts825]

The whole world is a sinkhole waiting to happen I believe this generation will see very soon

[@lewisjeffreys9175]

I guess you're a glass half empty kinda person...

[@lisaschuster686]

@@lewisjeffreys9175Or an engineer. The glass is the wrong size. 😊

[@genebohannon8820]

Y'all can afford water in the O'Biden economy?

[@mjleger4555]

Well, that's pessimistic, but it IS getting worse here on our Planet Earth, and you can chalk it up to the human population explosion that saw us going from 2.5 billion in 1950, to 8 billion in just 72 years! That SHOULD scare us silly, but clearly doesn't!

[@PatrickBaptist]

The security man was such a hero! You couldn't pay me to live in FL, it's a humid tourist trap land.

[@BubblesMcGhee]

FYI- central Florida isn’t beachfront. Working for a hotel company? It was frustrating when on the “front lines” and on the phones, taking calls for reservations & folks would ask for ocean front rooms at WDW area properties. Who gets yelled at? The hotel employee. Editing like this makes me giggle and sinkholes are really not a laughing matter. Just letting you know. ✌🏽

[@lynettelark7281]

Which hotel is this?

[@michelemcguire8995]

It's a disaster waiting for a fine family aka victims with deep pockets..

[@BubblesMcGhee]

Hey! That’s Lake Padgett in LO’L, FL. Just like the butter. My folks live a few blocks from there. You can see their home in the drone footage. That was TERRIFYING back then. They did sink hole surveys. The county or insurance should have done it for the locals right? Nope. Out of pocket and it’s not cheap. It’s still an empty plot of land. Not doxing, all googlable.

[@felicitybywater8012]

Thanks for the warning about how many theme parks Orlando has. Theme parks are my idea of hell.

[@AntonioPeralesdelHierro]

Trump wants the whole US as his 'theme park.' And don't let that garbage-head control an army!!

[@jackiejones8411]

Loved this but KZbin spoilt it with 35 adverts

[@carinwiseman4309]

Clermont is nowhere near the ocean btw. They are showing pictures of Clearwater Beach...nowhere near Clermont.

[@sarahlashley4564]

What does Clermont have to do with Clearwater? They are appx 100 miles apart. Clermont is in the center of the state just west of Disney world. Clearwater is on the West coast on the gulf of Mexico. A beautiful coast of clear waters thus the name.

[@amberstreetfilms]

Watching now. Very well done. Glad I came across your channel. Subscribed.

[@reclaimingminds2811]

Brilliant documentary and explanation_ thank you 💖

[@pnewt3378]

My favorite fishing spot was a sink hole

[@HearturMind]

The earth has been expanding for millionscl of years. Thats what it does. Many places on earth splitting in a big way. Google Africa splitting apert and huge gap opens after Turkish quake. Great drone footage of these. Turkey one happened in minutes! Hundreds of ft. Wide and 100 ft deep.

[@Bettinasisrg]

And you're an earth scientist? Let me tell about open heart surgery, oh wait I'm not a heart surgeon so I can't!

[@Bettinasisrg]

Most people are useless during an emergency, but there are those who can keep a level head and plan quickly to survive, those are the people you want to listen to! They're obvious but not obnoxious.

[@lisaschuster686]

Why do people say, “The best way I can explain it…”? it’s BEEN explained. You are DESCRIBING it.

[@vickythefist7062]

We don't get many in the UK and definitely not big ones !!

[@thetrainwreck1469]

Not one of these people had the wherewithal to pull the fire alarm. Geeze.

[@hellooutthere8956]

Yet ppl dont think we neèd to live in harmony with nature.

[@Purplepinkmom]

There are some who suggest that all this is due to an expanding global, not human expansion.

[@Bettinasisrg]

Well there's also people that believe the earth is flat or only 6,000 years old. Truly in denial

[@diane1390]

Israel needs to get it's water from other sources, like ocean water. The country of Soudi Arabia gets water like that and desalinate it.

[@vickythefist7062]

And don't forget Saudi steals water from other people by " cloud harvesting" now that they have the technology to make it rain on qué . Only thing is once it starts they can't get it to stop raining as recent events have proved 😂😂

[@lisaschuster686]

I feel for people who turned fixer-uppers into things of beauty. Oy!

[@davepane7306]

God forbid this should happen at Disney.

[@RochelleHickey-yu4jb]

Are there any sinkholes in Port Richey that anybody knows of

[@mpinline1]

This looks like an AI generated channel, the video is so detached from reality it's mind-boggling. They stitched together random clips that have nothing to do with the actual disaster. It's disgusting how many of these fake "for clicks" channels are littering KZbin these days, spreading fake "documentaries". SMH

[@shahzadazulfiqar1]

Do these Floridian patches could disappear Florida to be swallowed as a whole ? As it's an alarming.

[@mimilong3817]

Why not Engineer flotation structure (like styrofoam) underneath the entire house so that if a sinkhole develops, the house would stay intact and float? Of course utilities would have to be anchored somehow or breakaway and restore later.

[@mimilong3817]

And why can’t engineers use sonar to detect cavities?

[@Bettinasisrg]

It always comes down to money and whether they want to spend it on figuring out solutions bettering us and the planet or themselves.

[@ginaanderson4606]

I would say the ocean is starting to take Florida from the ground up. It's going to slowly wash into the ocean.

[@susieoughton8836]

It’s a God thing.

[@Bettinasisrg]

Looks like God doesn't like Florida.

[@thomasjensen6243]

He said "no animals died in that sinkhole". The fact is Millions of animals died.

[@FEJK82]

Stop showing people describe it, and just show the damn video!

[@AntonioPeralesdelHierro]

When the narrator is targeting my emotions unneccesarily the sound gets turned off.

[@josieruiz3946]

It has always rained no all of sudden it water causing sing holes this si all wrong! So we must be worried about the rain ?

[@Bettinasisrg]

Mainly it's because we're emptying the reservoirs so they're now empty caves aka sinkholes.

[@lisaschuster686]

It’s not God, it’s his wife, Mother Earth.

Thought our police were supposed to be in shape and fit for duty, like like a roly poly
