Ever wonder what a sinkhole looks like on the inside? CNN's David Mattingly dives in for a peek in Florida. For more CNN videos, visit our site at www.cnn.com/video/
Could be worse. Like the San Francisco luxury high-rise that now is both sinking and tilting 2 feet from where it had been when residents began moving in.
J Cee2 well yeah, true. But considering Florida it’s still super paranoid to be knowing these sink holes are all over, developed with zero warning, and most people mistake the signs of them because the signs are often the same as normal weathering here in Florida.
I don't but living as I do atop an abandoned coal mine about 30 miles from a steaming volcanic caldera makes me wonder if my reader has less to worry about.
Squiffy Living on top of a hole would require suspension or holy intervention. Anyway,the damage has been done, sides would be safe, resorts have been made from them.
That's not a sinkhole, that's a tourist attraction. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a McDonalds down there. Want to impress us? Then go down a sinkhole that just swallowed a street and some houses.
Cave explorers like myself have the assistance of NASA. After we find unknown life and minerals. Feel free to wait until NASA finds a use for yourself.
I've been in there several times diving, great place to get a feel for cave diving for the average person since it's considered open water diving. At least it was when I was there.
Not me. I find sinkholes interesting and often dig open an entry to what it hides. I was invited to party in 2021 with cave explorers who had made more than 150 miles of cartography in just one cave.
we drilled into salt water river about 2000 ft. down flowing from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. We logged the well . the river was about 25 FT deep but the width was off the chart.
Isn't it just awesome how something notorious for caving in is an immersive tourist attraction... Also, how about testing the solidity of the he ground underneath before building on it... These don't form overnight.
I have actually gone diving in there. They didn't show very much in this. There are gated off cave entrances closer to the bottom, & one are that they could not gate off had a warning not to enter & a number indicating how many people went in & didn't come back out. I love diving, but I stay away from things like that!
So would it be safe to say before you build a house any where in Florida you should maybe has some kind of ground Doppler study done to check the integrity of the ground, if the even exists.
'...How common these are'... this sounds like the South Park episodes when they say 'cows turn themselves inside out all the time'. It's amazing that it is so common but almost no one knew about it till it started happening. Why haven't they stopped people from building houses on top of these things? Why are officials so surprised when it happens?
Before 2010, the presence of sinkholes was a relatively uncommon phenomenon. In the last 5 years there have been an unprecedented number of new sinkholes appearing around the planet on a size and scale never before seen. As of 2016, there are new ones opening up every day. Not an isolated phenomenon, sinkholes are integrally linked to the emergence of other dramatic earth changes including increased earthquake activity, volcano eruptions, strange sounds and extreme weather events. The emergence of so many sinkholes in such a short time is just one of many apparent portents of likely drastic changes to come. As they say - being forewarned is forearmed, and those who do not pay attention to the present become dreams of the past!
I agree Christel.. the effect of surrounding geography on tastes & contents of natural water makes a huge difference. I am sorry to hear what you had to go through in WV. Luckily my experience with well water had been otherwise. Now keep your secret spots safe.... coz public enjoying Free Treasure is undigestable for Greedy Authorities & companies.
I•live•in•central•Florida| I remember that sinkhole that happened in seffner awhile back... I live not far from it... my friends new people that were related to the ones that died too... ; - ;
...cave divers are constantly exploring, surveying, and mapping the underwater cave systems in Florida, from the panhandle down to the center of the state....think of all the place names in the state with the word 'spring'...those are all resurgences of the Floridan aquifer...
The reasons I will never live in Florida: Giant spiders, and the fact that it's basically just a giant sandbar. Still, I would like to go to Disney World before it sinks into the ground.
no. after the earths crust we have a mantle made of molten metals where the typical effects of erosion (wind/water) do not occur.So i think the deepest one could ever go is to the bottom of the crust
How old is this news video? Do the correspondents/narrators still talk to the viewer like they’re half brain dead, half in a coma, and half deaf? Unreal.
I lived on well water over 25 yrs & it wasnt pleasant! it has alot of iron in it here in WV,smells like rotten eggs from sulfur & turns ur clothes,bathtub, & sink red, looks awful, and even made my hair brassy. we had to put bags of water softner tablets/salt with a system to mix it...Im not sure how other well water is in U.S. but we dont miss it! Now the few secret spots we find that have mountain/spring water omg, its amazing! we take jugs and fill them up & yes its better than fancy bottles!
that great layer of limestone was precipitated out of the waters of the fountains of the deep that burst out like geysers during The Flood 4,350 years ago. natural acids from soil and vegetation have been slowly dissolving the lime ever since.
3:06 ... Is that a house like 2 feet from the edge of the hole? With people knowing that there is a giant cavern below them standing there just observing like no big deal?
And here I am. Sitting on my bed, in Florida, paranoid there's a giant hole under my house, ready to collapse in at any moment.
Could be worse. Like the San Francisco luxury high-rise that
now is both sinking and tilting 2 feet from where it had been
when residents began moving in.

Seeing a sinkhole makes my skin crawl
I wonder, if a sink hole appears under your house, can you claim ownership? It would make for a sick as s man cave with a pool and everything
What an idea ! Haha
dmaster225 i alwys wanted my own cave
dmaster225 i alwys wanted my own cave
Jarrett Richey Richey lol
is make a awsome cave house hella ya
"And someone living on top of this would be in danger?"
Uh.. no. They'd be absolutely safe.
What a stupid question.
Haha I laughed out loud when he asked that. I was like "Are you fucking kidding?".
it depends how deep beneath the surface the sinkhole is. Most are too deep to be of concern.
you're so smart
Juanito Gonzalez you're*
Squiffy Living on top of a hole would require suspension or holy intervention. Anyway,the damage has been done, sides would be safe, resorts have been made from them.
So basically don't live in Florida, got it....
mrbostonian93 Stay away from Jacksonville florida.
The Dude Fragile
+Kyle
Holy shit lol. Well aren't you sensitive?
mrbostonian93 I think you cant claim for insuarance wegens natural disastor .
It's not so bad, the gators and hurricanes more than make up for the sinkholes.
That's not a sinkhole, that's a tourist attraction. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a McDonalds down there.

Hey

dang! the water looks cleaning than our drinking water bottles!
So, this connects to the ocean in some way? I saw some little fish swimming. I'm pretty sure rain water doesn't magically create little fish
RIGHT at 0:58, I could swear I heard Butthead laugh.
wow, good catch.
Lmfao I knew I wasn't the only one 😂😂😂
Whipsters Idle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfaoo it did sound weird 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 so silly
They're also called cenotes, they're all over florida and the yucatan. I dove in some this summer...
hey the ground is collapsing, lets go inside the hole and hope it collapses more....
larabie2007 ..hie hie hie...you funny person..i enjoyed that!!!
I've been in there several times diving, great place to get a feel for cave diving for the average person since it's considered open water diving. At least it was when I was there.
I believe we're all the same age when it concerns the fear of sinkholes.

Well said Cynthia 👍
People are still running down there, buying homes.
That is just beautiful :) I love the underground "lake" there.
Sinkhole de Mayo?
Tornike Sinkhole de Mayo!
we drilled into salt water river about 2000 ft. down flowing from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. We logged the well . the river was about 25 FT deep but the width was off the chart.
Wait this was under Florida?
one of the most beatifull things i have ever seen.
water can be life or death.
Phu Dao deep, but not as deep as the sinkhole
0:25 "so if someone was living right on top of this giant fucking hole in the ground, they'd be at risk?!?!??"
Cave diving is terrifying
Isn't it just awesome how something notorious for caving in is an immersive tourist attraction...
Also, how about testing the solidity of the he ground underneath before building on it... These don't form overnight.
...and you forgot to say how deep it is.
Thats what she said
joe mamma
To her husband while wearing a strap-on.
Henri Oinonen Then realizing her husband is her brother.
Balls deep😂😂😂

what sink hole is this ?
Yeah, it looks so dangerous. I would be terrified to dive in there. Be careful!
So would it be safe to say before you build a house any where in Florida you should maybe has some kind of ground Doppler study done to check the integrity of the ground, if the even exists.
Ugh
MaryAnn VanMeter it does
I also think these things are accelerated by mining if not caused entirely by them in some cases
I love It... They got an explanation for everything...
I wonder if Farmer's Insurance would cover this seeing as how they've seen a thing or two.
'...How common these are'... this sounds like the South Park episodes when they say 'cows turn themselves inside out all the time'. It's amazing that it is so common but almost no one knew about it till it started happening. Why haven't they stopped people from building houses on top of these things?

I would really like to own a sinkhole so I can swim in there !
You going fuck around in drown

Everyone, put on your foil hats. It will protect your brain from the EMPs and Gamma radiation.
There are citys underground
the earth giveth ground and taketh ground away
that sounds more like a Satan thing
Harzburgitic okay, okay...you my friend, need a break from the net. you have way too much free time
wtf this reply chain
Sinkholes freak me out due to their unpredictability 😮😢
Thanks for the answer.
If my was was to sink, and it turned out like that, I would just move in to the cave
Your very dirty water my faceu u can build a way out and if its dirt u can climb it
@shock toast ;bhg n.y
That is beautiful. I love mother earth. :)
Munchchewy0
Bet you'd change your mind if it swallowed your house lol.
It's beautiful.

Great video, thanks
i have one in my yard in pa i have dumped about a ton of soil in every year since 1991 never fills up
I also live in Pa and a small sinkhole opened on the road a few houses up from me.
devils den fl. its a underground spring you can swim in its alot of fun
If I knew there was a sinkhole under my house, I'd turn it into an extension of my house. lol.
This is really cool to see. I would love to dive there.
Well said...
Will make a good septic tank
I•live•in•central•Florida| I remember that sinkhole that happened in seffner awhile back... I live not far from it... my friends new people that were related to the ones that died too... ; - ;
No, only to the top of the present or past water tables
Wonder if they have found any crocodile inside those sinkholes
it’s beautiful
fricking incredible
yes he do
This was a great piece of journalism
Had one of these, about this big if not bigger, right outside my back yard of my old house.... Turned it into a ditch eventually.. pretty interesting
scary shit i live in Florida and they have been opening a lot
I’m imagining that they’re inside the sinkhole and the sinkhole suddenly collapsed. lol
the whole looks like a beautiful place to live tbh
Fine video. I was looking for more information. That place is very interesting.
In particular, has there been any study/mapping of Aquifer in Florida?
...cave divers are constantly exploring, surveying, and mapping the underwater cave systems in Florida, from the panhandle down to the center of the state....think of all the place names in the state with the word 'spring'...those are all resurgences of the Floridan aquifer...
This is devils den and it is in Williston Florida I recently visited I live about an hour away it is an amazing experience
That is why they can have Florida! And folk wanna talk bout california sinking when Florida's riddled with sinkholes!
I played in this one growing up in Williston...cool. Wish they had the stairs then.
I can imagine how pure the water tastes
The reasons I will never live in Florida: Giant spiders, and the fact that it's basically just a giant sandbar. Still, I would like to go to Disney World before it sinks into the ground.
Hello from Birmingham Alabama David Mattingly!
I scuba dived in this Sinkhole, butt we stuck a sign inside & out, that reads, "Anderson Cooper's Rectum"!!!
Wow, actual journalism on CNN.
I was thinking the same thing ,lol.
0:25 i absolutely love reporters........... .
no. after the earths crust we have a mantle made of molten metals where the typical effects of erosion (wind/water) do not occur.So i think the deepest one could ever go is to the bottom of the crust
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Need more reporting like this cnn. Less politics.

I live in central Florida!! And you dig two feet down and you hit water
where in Florida is this at
Fascinating 🧡🧡
That shit would make some great bong water.
This would be worth watching if the banner at the bottom wasn't left on screen.
thnx g0d im in england
we still fully underscored what bellow the underground.
So if I dig into a starting of a sink hole it may lead to this
Literally Bob. Litterraaallllyyyy
In Yucatan they are called "cenotes ".
how feet down ?
sinkhole ?
Thats why people relied on Wells for so long.. I promise ya The water from well tastes far far better than what we drink from fancy bottles.
I've been to the devils den, it's beautiful down there
I will be scared to go under the water anything could be inside there shark giant fish ANYTHING!
it will be cool to go inside it but what happens if there people inside it and it collapses?
that great layer of limestone was precipitated out of the waters of the fountains of the deep that burst out like geysers during The Flood 4,350 years ago.
natural acids from soil and vegetation have been slowly dissolving the lime ever since.
Dangerous and Amazing WOW
it recall the cenotes in yucatan :)
Well, I guess it's time to move.
What is that song by the BeeGee
How deep is your sinkhole
why fill them are they stable enought to live in?
Scary. And seeing him diving reminds me of cave diving accidents
Stay positive with Sherpa 💖🐕🇬🇧
sinkoles are made by underwater currents dissolving it for years
they are not instant...
Sinkholes are a lot of fun. Cheers!
3:06 ... Is that a house like 2 feet from the edge of the hole? With people knowing that there is a giant cavern below them standing there just observing like no big deal?
Wow real news.
With all these sinkholes in southern states, it’s hard to see how any of them could be flooded by the ocean.
its beautiful
i say underground houses if they are safe enough ....
+Faisal Abdulaziz I think most internet dwellers say that lol
