Thats funny and all, but this is some serious shi**. That thing has no bottom.
I see sink holes in the news all the time 10ft, 30ft, But what the hell is that.
If anybody finds out the official depth post it back here.
 
Looks like a mining shaft has collapsed.. but obviously it wouldn't be under the city...
 
Empty aquifer collapse perhaps? Combined with erosion of water flowing into the empty aquifer maybe?

Some crazy geology accompanies emptying big aquifers. See: Mexico City.

I think it has to do with acid getting into the aquifer and eroding all of the limestone making big pockets of emptiness. At least thats how they work in Florida, there's a sinkhole there that has like 3 porches at the bottom because they can't get them out :D
 
Carbonic acid spontaneously forms in water from the CO2 in the air. Although it is weak, most things aren't generally in a rush underground.

I saw 300ft. So you could put a 30 story building in it.
