      @David paterson they didnt fall over, the ground they were rooted too underwater sank into a sinkhole and it took the trees with them, if they fell theyd just float and you would clearly see it if they fell

      Yeah anything IN the water was not having a good time, guaranteed. The surface tension will help keep reduce most of the pull, but under the surface, everything around that sinkhole is working like a toilet. All the water is rushing to fill that new empty space created. The pressure would be intense down there!

    The Bayou Corne Sinkhole was created from a collapsed underground salt dome cavern operated by Texas Brine Company and owned by Occidental Petroleum. The sinkhole, located in northern Assumption Parish, Louisiana, was discovered on August 3, 2012, and 350 nearby residents were advised to evacuate.

      yeah there very lucky because a sink hole can cause weak spots in the ground where its collapsing and soften it and take whatever is in its path whats worst in this case is its legit in a swamp which is why its so big because the swamp has softened it even more if you get drug under that theres NO chance of surviving. sinkholes happen alot small and big ones and people survive them all the time. but there still VERY dangerous and deadly. sinkholes are everywhere my old middle school was built on top of one. theres nothing we can do about them.

  • @hanleyk
    @hanleyk ปีที่แล้ว +526

    I live 10 miles away from this.
    Beneath much of coastal Louisiana are salt domes, gigantic deposits deep underground - up to 4 miles down.
    Salt mining has been going on in Louisiana since the Antebellum period.
    Salt extraction leaves behind massive caverns - a hundred feet wide & 80 feet tall.
    All it takes is a 14-inch drill bit to create an opening into the cavern to allow water in.
    The rushing water quickly dissolves the salt and the 14-inch opening becomes a 40-acre sinkhole.

      Rivers, springs, etc are not purely abiotic things, the more you explore them. They have pulses, critters, hearts, a beginning and an end (much like a snake, one long connected thing even if the source and mouth of rivers can be Very different)... sure there's external factors that influence them (amount of rainfall, how much is pumped out, etc) but overall much like a dangerous animal- you don't mess with an ancient angry river they mess with you (and people modify/ dam up/ destroy rivers, wonder why they get so angry and vengeful lmao... If you don't overpump nor tear up too many trees along the bank (slows down the river, floodwater control), flooding isn't anywhere near as bad usually but no... Everyone assumes Mother nature is automatically put to get them lol. Maybe she's angry at everyone, maybe indifferent idk overall. But for sure the environment and natural features are just as alive usually as you and I, no doubt (and like a person, can Provide So much if cared for... Nowadays people exploit rivers and other features, & wonder why they aren't healthy, go figure...

    The citizens of Naples, Florida are fighting a brine well, the same type of well that started this sinkhole. This was on Swamp Wars and the 2 gator hunters had to hurry and get their trap lines out just before this sinkhole opened up. People do die by falling in a sinkhole as it opens up. A man died as he was sleeping in his bed in Valrico, FL last year. His brother jumped in the sink as the ground swallowed up the floor, the bed and everything in the room. A cop was able to save the brother, they never found the sleeping man even though the brother could hear him yelling for help.

    • @marandathompson6367
      @marandathompson6367 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I read about some sink holes are formed because they were once salt mines. The water finds a way in and dissolves the salt in the mine, making a large hole and the surrounding earth above thin and weaker until it collapses.

    • @qbconnect2883
      @qbconnect2883 ปีที่แล้ว

      I read they're caused by underground springs in which a section of stone aquifer has eroded; similar to a broken water main pipe. The difference is that the spring is so deep with pressure flowing so strong that water never reaches the surface and pulls everything above down into the current, never to be seen again
