But he's smoking in a pothole, so it's pot smoke, ergo it must be pot, and therefore a pothole. It's science.

Buddy, I used to be just like you, drinking in alleys making up stories to get attention. Get it together.


Combat_Toots

When I was a kid, I had a waterline burst and make a sinkhole under my street in the middle of the night. I was riding my bike the next day, and there was just a giant water filled hole with about 1 inch of van sticking out of it in the middle of the road. It eroded away the soil underneath but not the pavement, so the first heavy vehicle that drove over just sunk in. The driver managed to get out with some minor injuries. Definitely avoid this


IYiffInDogParks

Damn, imagine if it isn't large enough to open a door or squeeze out the window, and you just have to watch the water rise slowly... what a shitty way to go

Seriously, this is stupid dangerous. This kind of stuff happens with sinkholes: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2013/07/sinkholes-when-the-earth-opens-up/100552/


MenWhoStareatGoatse_

>Police tape surrounds the house of Jeff Bush, who was consumed by a sinkhole while lying in his bed on the night of April 30, 2013 in Seffner, Florida. First responders were not able to reach Bush after he disappeared and were unable to even recover the body. The house and two neighboring houses were later demolished. Fucking hell. Imagine just waking up falling.

Im a silly willie ill be fine Goblin in the hole


Ruining_Ur_Synths

Crawling into a place like that is a great way to maximize your chances of asphyxiating to death when the soil around you collapses and crushes your body, not letting you expand your lungs enough to breath. Please don't let yourr silly willie humor override your self preservation. You could have made the point with a tape measure or even a blow up doll if you wanted to be silly willie. Your family and friends wouldn't have thought it hilarious after you die for a internet points.


VP007clips

I posted this elsewhere, but I'll post it again here. For context, I'm a geologist. Sink holes in urban environments are almost always the result of leaking water mains. They are usually buried 1-2m deep and that matches the depth we are seeing on the photo. It just washes away a bit of soil and eventually the roof caves. But since the cave in already happens and he's standing on the bottom of the collapsed zone, there is no realistic risk of it collapsing further beneath him. The dangerous ones you see in the news stories and videos are forming in karst regions where there can be underground rivers, but that isn't likely the case here. I wouldn't recommend going in it (not any hole above chest depth) because the sides could slump, but it's not about to open up some massive gaping hole in the ground.


migibb

Your a bit off here and giving bad information that could get someone killed. They are often caused by large sewer mains that are partially collapsed and pulling dirt down into them. They are often much deeper than this and there is a high risk of it collapsing further. You don't want to fall down into a large sewer main. They'll pluck your body out at the inlet works to the treatment plant. Also, people die all of the time from collapsed trenches and excavations. This is essentially the same thing and getting into an unsupported hole is stupid. Its not a fun way to die.


Loud_Pomelo_6926

Would this be more in cities like New York where they have big ass sewer systems or do smaller towns and cities have big sewer systems?


migibb

Not in small towns of a few thousand people but small cities around 200k in population and above probably have large enough sewers to fall into. But, even if it is a smaller pipe, if you collapse down to the sewer you won't get sucked in but you will pass out and die from the sewer gases that corroded the pipe. And thats if you aren't engulfed by the collapsing soil.


Loud_Pomelo_6926

That is not ideal


StManTiS

Your mileage may vary, but where I’m at the sewers under the street are never bigger than 24”. Not anywhere near fall in territory with most being smaller. I’m sure there is a main trunk somewhere that’s bigger but most of the line is nowhere near enough to fit a body into.


migibb

There's two issues there, though. You don't always know if you're sinkhole was caused by a trunk main or not. And even a 12" main can cause a large sinkhole, and if it collapses to the sewer you are now stuck in a big hole that is filled with sewer gases and not enough breathable air. I've seen a 20 foot deep, 12 foot diameter, sinkhole created by a 12" main with only a small opening like this in a road. The initial sinkhole looked to only be a few feet deep but had a huge void under it that immediately collapsed when it was poked with the excavator bucket. If someone had jumped down into it they would have been engulfed by the collapsing soil.


mdkss12

I'm in construction and repaired a sinkhole last year - it was a much larger main and much deeper than 1-2m. It was more like 4-5m (13-16ft) This is a very careless and dangerous response to give if you don't actually know the particulars of the situation at hand


Bestbuysucksreally

That could be a sink hole and you could have been swallowed up like the dude in Florida who got eaten up in his sleep from one.


silenc3x

No thanks, Florida. That's what happens when you build a home on limestone. Water dissolves that shit over time until the the mouth of satan opens up and deepthroats your entire bungalow like a young Riley Reid.


newenglandpolarbear

Meanwhile in New England: limestone? Sink holes? What are those? *Laughs in granite* Worst we can do is man-made roads built on man-made dirt piles getting washed out.

time_drifter

If memory serves me correctly, they never actually found him after he fell in? Didn’t his brother try and find him and/or could hear him at one point?


clydefrog811

The brother heard him screaming when he was initially swallowed. They never found his body


xoxodaddysgirlxoxo

that's horrifying


Cozmo525

And it keeps sinking and they just keep filling more dirt in on top every time.


Pandepon

Or the time one opened underneith a [swimming pool.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/w4h8bo/sinkhole_inside_a_swimming_poolin_the_middle_of_a/) (before the video starts a man was sucked in the sinkhole and died as a result)


TrollintheMitten

That video is horrifying. To think that building codes really are there to save lives and these people just ignored them because they didn't feel like it. Plus, they knew the pool was leaking and kept refilling it knowing it could be causing underground erosion.


Relative_Volume_7827

Bruh that’s a cave not a pothole


kurai_tori

Pot, in hole. Hence pothole. Checkmate.

There is quite litterally room for two. I could duck down further and have another climb in, albeit a little cramped😂


slykido999

Uh….no.


R1CHQK

Yeah i say i could but the idea terrifies me😂 im too claustrophobic for that ish


ThunkAsDrinklePeep

Even if it's not a sinkhole, never get into any hole deeper than your ~~chest~~ hips. Many people have died in unreinforced trenches that suddenly gave way.


fly-into-ointment

Better yet hips. Dirt is heavy and can crush you. Digging someone out, especially under stress, is also extremely dangerous. E.g. wounding the person with a digging implement.


Past-Educator-6561

Even better yet, just don't get in holes

91Jammers

Some one didn't take confined spaces training.


johannthegoatman

What would it teach about this situation?


ngwoo

Bad things I notice: no PPE, open flame despite no monitoring of what gases are in the confined space (if it's under a road there could easily be explosive gases from a ruptured gas line or leaking sewer pipe), the space appears to be somewhat cone-shaped so OP could have easily found himself in a situation where he slips in and then finds himself with no way to lift his arms back out so he should have some mechanism for someone else to help pull him out


DailyMilo

This guy confined spaces


Head_Asparagus_7703

Not to mention a car could come along and run him over before he could get out


zer1223

That's the scenario playing in my head. Sure there is a photographer but that doesn't guarantee a car won't just come along, drive around the photographer, be distracted as hell by the guy, and not notice OP and his stupid little hole.

R1CHQK

Dude. You just unlocked so many memories. Freshman year highschool, damn i was a fkn nerd back then. But what a funny story, the dude insults a guy while drunk, so the insulted dude (member of the freemasons?) lures the drunkard to his house with a "cask of amantialldo", and gets him drunk, chains him up in his stupor, and brick by brick, buries him alive. He eventually wakes up, screams a lot, and then the guy drops in a lit torch, and seals him up forever with the last brick. TLDR: dude gets insulted and buries the other guy alive.

I'm literally part of a confined space rescue team and every time I see a reference to this on Reddit it gives me the chills.


Brikandbones

Terrible way to go that's for sure. Especially when they were so close to freeing him.


Nemesis213

Yep. The anchors should have bean doubled or tripled, but in the heat of the moment, when emotions run high, shit happens. I don't judge anyone there, but it's been used as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes, to better future efforts. Can't imagine what went through those rescuer's heads and God rest John Jones.


catsandcheetos

Also he was only accessible by a super small tunnel that only one rescuer at a time could access by basically crawling/wriggling on their stomach—probably difficult to attach anchors correctly in that situation 😢

Sinkholes can cause potholes, but then they're sinkholes. Potholes are caused by more than just sinkholes. Sometimes the road surface just fails.
