Ohio Sinkhole

That is a huge sinkhole.
 

Now that the election is over, things are getting back to normal in Ohio. It took only a few minutes for a massive sinkhole to devour several acres of land and a stretch of State Highway 516 on Wednesday, WHYC reports.

The hole, spanning the area of roughly four football fields, collapsed near a lake where the Newton Asphalt Company has spent years dredging for sand nearly 50 feet below the surface, according to Fox Cleveland.

This has nothing to do with global warming, and everything to do with the shortsightedness of the people running the Newton Asphalt company, which kept dredging sand from places it shouldn't have. Plain greediness, stupidity and lack of forthought caused this sinkhole. You can take only so much blood from a vein, before it collapses.
