- Surveillance video showed the moment the sinkhole opened up and an area where benched players would sit during games disappeared beneath the earth.
People don't realize under their feet is a million miles of coal mine. Central Illinois is all coal mine.
God damn it I live in central Illinois
Wow! Saw a pic of this hole yesterday and thought it was fake due to the sharp edges of the grass. It’s artificial turf. Really lucky that field wasn’t full of unsuspecting kids. Just WOW!
Imagine if there was a game in progress😢
You see, god hates soccer as much as I do. Amen. :)
Disappointed at the fake grass
... gonna fill in that hole and lets play ball NOT!
Who all thought he was gonna blame climate change? 🤣🤣😜
Damn gophers
I don't think I ever want to meet a woodchuck that digs a hole that big 😂😂
Look at how tall the light pole is? That sinkhole is very Deep !!!
The hole is so perfectly round and the way that turf is hanging over the edge it almost looks like it was computer generated 😂
Gears of War emergence hole
That light post disappeared, how deep is the hole..?
Straight to hell
How deep is your love?
A Mine !! WTF
it was the light pole's fault
100% agree.
dozens of people could have fallen in drowned and disappeared for ever.
illinois.
that actually happened in the footage, but they were invisible ghosts so you couldn't see them
@@whackamole4909 there were millions of casualties, all those poor blades of grass!
I wouldn't let my kid play there. Ever.
ok
I'd block it to all people, but if it is mine subsidence that can probably be fixed. need better employees/ Employers.
Ya think??
Uhh no shit??
I live in nearby Glen Carbon which literally translates to “Valley of Coal”. If you live anywhere in this area, under your feet could be next. Your only hope of avoiding this is to move.
Reopen? Heck No!
Almost the Dark Knight Rises
seems safe, great job by the engineers who chose this place for kids to hang out.
It's called erosion. Things like this happen over time. There's no way anyone could plan for something like this.
@@CarriedSilverSure there is you don't build a soccer field or anything over a mine that's been mined to much & dug up to high from underneath which causes things like this to happen. Granted some states & areas have under ground water crevasses and tunnels that can over time cause this very same thing that naturally happens but when you have a known mine under ground where this field was made that's a pretty bad decision to build something like that over it knowing it could potentially sink & cause death & destruction . The Corvette museum had the same thing happen a few years back where they lost some very expensive and rare Corvettes because of a sink hole that collapsed in taking most of the museum with it but cars can be rebuilt or replaced but loved ones can't because most people that get sucked into these sink holes never live or get found again because they are sucked in & buried alive .
@@CarriedSilver Mines don't happen over time lmfao. This sink hole happened because a mine collapsed under the field. Maybe don't build schools over old mine tunnels.
@@peteloomis8456the entire town is built over a mine
@@DudeMcGuybro That area is a big mine same in west Virginia amd Kentucky
Dang! It looks like riding the bench into the pit of hell was avoided! Thank God that never happened!
Pfft. The Lame Stream Media always running cover for the mole men...amirite?
The weight of the light in the middle of the field was all it took to trigger it. It was dead center.
Sinkholes are usually formed by water washing away the soil underneath until the hole is large enough for the soil on top to collapse, too. The weight of a light pole is nothing compared to the tons of soil around it. The channel Practical Engineering has a great video explaining it.
Groundbreaking story
Thank God no kids were on that field!!!
Agreed. They would have had to play soccer.
That's something you don't see every day..
Trump must be indicted for this heinous atrocity.
People should watch the adventure Twins here on you tube. You get a great perspective on what’s underneath our feet.
Wow
Wanna know what is in the bottom of that hole?
You guessed it, Frank Stallone
Norm MacDonald approves of your comment !
Ill stay in California 😂where only the billionaire homes are at risk on the shoreline 😂😂😂
The light pole was like “weeeeeee”
Where are the engineers who allowed this?
A sinkhole can form after something is built. Happens all the time. I've heard about them forming on intersections of busy streets everywhere. Scary to think about.
Bane?
Womp womp
Who builds anything over a mine? Hilarious!
(quietly signs out of his Minecraft world) :{
Lots of people do. In my city, there is a whole neighborhood like this. They spent months pumping cement from over 3000 trucks under it.
Don't go to Illinois, Kentucky, or west Virginia cos most are over mines.
Wow
Outer range
If Build Back Better was a video.
All that land is junk. Map the tunnels and put up fences.
Putin MUST be held accountable for this .
Prove their was a mine-
@@Yumbutteredsausage ... a smart answer deserves a quick response -
@@Yumbutteredsausage lol-
Who the f*** builds the whole entire soccer field above and underground mine?
Imagine how many children could have been swallowed up forever if they were playing. 🙏🏻
Don't have a enough money for build properly more important is give money to Ukraine
That light pole was clearly built out of depleted uranium or neutronium
Californium for sure. Not sure if using that for a lightpost was a good idea.
Anyone remember that book tangerine for the very similar thing happened?
It’s good to know no one was working in the mine…
Bc that was my concern. It makes all the sense to build a kids soccer field over an active mine full of coal miners wtf
Fast Eddies is the place to be ! Get some Wangz .....
Maybe grow actual grass to help keep the ground together?
That mine is not mine
🤭😱
Confused. I have never see a light in the middle of a field. Isn't that dangerous?
Why would there be a mine under a football field
Is it true that soccer fields in Chicago are made of green carpet, like what's depicted here?
cooooooooal!
This is what happens when you don't play a real sport.
And now it's bigger and keeps growing.
It isn't a sinkhole 👌 it's a mine collapse
Fake grass/astro turf on an outdoor field?
Just like the the dark knight!
The fact those that built the soccer field knew there was mine there and still built it only thought if money and not the safety of their players
According to some of the commenters here apparently Central Illinois is just entirely undermined
Fun fact every youtube commenter is correct 100% of the time
Not from the area
Who built a field on a mine -
Glad no one was there at the time
Scary
Gears of War 6
That was deep.
Omg
IF THIS SOCCER FEILD IS PART OF A BIGGER SCHOOL FACILITY IT MIGHT HAVE TO BE CLOSED
They say Alton is haunted
I can't believe that they actually want to repair and return to service that field. Anyone who agrees with that needs to lose their job immediately. Apparently safety is not the first thing on their agenda.
Why were they mining under the school...
dwarfs
The mine came first, prolly over a hundred years ago
Mine was obviously there before the school Sherlock
@@azulaquaza4916
Not obvious...
So, they build the school on top of abandoned mineshafts ?
If true I'm not sure how I feel about that.
@@ReekRendTest1 Why the hell would miners show up to a school and be like “Here’s the spot boys”. Yes obviously the school came after the mine, much of America dosent even mine anymore.
Your comment of the gophers made me laugh
It literally looks like a glitch in The matrix it looks fake 😔
Interesting that it collapsed right beneath where they dug up the ground to put in that light pole...
It seems that lamp post had something to do with the sinkhole
"What a lovely voice"
Whoa
This why is we need to change the way we produce energy.
No, just change laws. Property shouldn't be 4d
It's a limestone mine. They dig rocks for streets and such
I actually live close to this area and have seen this video many times but the one thing that no one talks about is, what happened to the light pole ? They have shown the aftermath of the sinkhole but I have never seen any sign of the actual light pole . I understand that it is irrelevant to what happened but it is something that I was just curious about.
@@Yumbutteredsausage 🤡🤡
i wouldve thought the shii from revelations started
Who’s great idea was it to build a soccer field over a mine pure stupidity
that indicates that there are many immigrants or people living in the United States, said the native population that I know
moron
Look at your comment and watch this video. I think the comment got posted on the wrong video. This happens sometimes. Maybe that is what happens when comments get censored. They get out on a different video. Let's go, Brandon.
Reminds me of bidens brain in the debate this evening lololol . Imploded.
Thanks a lot Joe!
His debate was bad. But not opening up a portal to the underworld bad.
But why would they build on the underground mine smh 🤦♀️ fix it jesus
Everything in that area has a mine under it.
It's a million degrees under our feet.
Al Gore 😂
Umm, I'm not a structural engineer, but my logic tells me maybe don't build a soccer field on top of a mine?
