Is that Oil in the bottom of the sinkhole? It may be the answer to our energy crisis!

yes, it is oil and natural gas. It was a salt dome that collapsed. with all the oil they are pumping out of texas, I expect to see more of this.

I saw in the news where the sink hole is continuing to grow and several more machines have fallen in. You would think they would move equipment from the area I guess its too dangerous or they have good insurance. Papa needs a new car now.

I don't understand that either...that sink hole is big and you would think there is time to move the tractor. I wouldn't move it when it is 1 foot from the edge but you would think they have some notice - after all, there was time for a news team to fly out there with a helicopter.
