That's pretty big, but there are bigger. The sinkhole found on the Borneo Expedition is larger at 500 feet deep. I actually watched the Discovery channel coverage of Expedition Borneo two nights ago and it was truly amazing!

I noticed they were careful around the edge of that thing. There are sink holes here in Des Moines sometimes, there are old coal mines running under the city here. That one there is plain nasty.

That's an impressive sink hole. Sure would hate to think of what is eroding under my house right now...

HAHA, awesome. That show was amazing. I laughed so hard at the Entomologist (bug scientist) when he set up that white sheet with the spotlight to attract the bugs. Man, that guy was like a kid in a candy shop!
