Massive sinkhole swallows part of Illinois park
A park in Illinois is closed after a massive sinkhole opened up in the middle of a soccer field Wednesday.
The hole is estimated to be at least 100 feet wide and up to 50 feet deep, the Alton Parks and Recreation Department Director Michael Haynes told KMOV.
Footage from the department shows one of the stadium lights at Gordon Moore City Park being sucked in.

Thank God no one was on the field!
It ate the light pole.
NFL players have been telling us for years that turf is evil.
This is from a collapsed mine shaft.
The Earth is Scary
Damn that light pole disappeared. That’s crazy ish.
This is the mole people's doing!
GOAL 🥅
Time to build the pool now , it just needs a liner.😂😂
Fill it with water and make it a fishing pond
Oh wow. Dangerous
It’s almost like Outer Range just no fluid in it. lol.
Time to sue whoever built that field
Weather events have all kinds of repercussions.

Must be global warming causing the sinkhole 🙄

This doesn't have anything to do with weather. It's abandoned move shafts, tunnels from underground rails etc. They happen to be all over the untied States. Coastal states are vulnerable due to water erosion. Any place you've had underground rails, and mines of all kinds. The only thing that weather would have to do with it would be to finally wear away at the upper crust and make it collapse and that would take eons. I'm afraid of sink holes, especially the ones that open up in places like Florida. It's like an abyss. Others that happen where mining is/was common happen and we were don't even know about it because they are so remotely located, unless you go those locations you'd not know they caved in. But that's not weather.
Omg that’s scary 😱
Tell the government to stop drilling so close

Alton Illinois
It happens in every state. Mostly in Florida it seems
WOW!!!
Wow
Looks like a meteor hit lol
And on a positive note, Jimmy Hoffa’s body has been found
Probably just old burning coal mine shafts collapsing.
Well technically it isn't a sinkhole, it is a hole caused by a cave-in/collapse from a mine shaft... they musta needed some light down there!! lol Thank God nobody was on the field!
Scary
This reminds me of that scene from the Dark Knight Rises. awesome!!
Looks fake
I guess sinkholes don't only happen in Florida. Glad no one was hurt.
Instates that earth will be leveled at end times!
😮
Wow! We're all at the mercy of God🙏🏾
Hungry 🌏!!!
Here comes the “Yo Mama so Fat” jokes!
Why does everyone keep bringing up “god” Yes bc your god was digging underneath of it just for fun
How fitting for Illinois
OFF SIDE ! 😢
Sink holes? Are these old geysers?
