Aerial footage reveals mysterious 82-ft-wide SINKHOLE which is ‘still growing’
Exquisite photographs have been acquired of a massive sinkhole connected to a copper mine that appeared this weekend in northern Chile. The 82-foot-wide hole, which is also reported to be more than 650 feet deep, inexplicably formed on July 30, Saturday in the Atacama Region's Tierra Amarilla commune, adjacent to the enormous Alcaparrosa mine.
Aerial photos of the unusual event, which occurred on ground owned and controlled by a Canadian copper mine company called Lundin Mining and is located about 413 miles north of Santiago, Chile's capital, were provided by Chilean media. On July 31, Sunday, the town's mayor, Cristobal Zuniga, verified the existence of the sinkhole, which is just outside the town, and expressed concern from locals that excessive mining in the area would have disastrous effects.
