Update News. Big Hole in Schmalkaden, Germany. Complete With Video
78There’s a big question came up in my mind. Why my traffic increasingly so fast. For a couple days I get more than one thousand viewer. Commonly I got seven hundreds until nine hundreds viewers. This made me curious. So I back to my account and check my hub statistic. I found that two my hubs have a lot of viewers, Big Hole in Guatemala, Another Weird Phenomenon and Another Big Hole in China (Complete with Sinkhole Theory). This was also made me surprise. Because this is happen again after these hubs have top position and reach top scores a couple months ago. Other question is why these hubs popular again? I have to check out there, to find the reason why people love to read a big holes news. Until I read my newspaper and find surprising news. There’s other big holes come up again in Schmalkaden, Germany. Schmalkaden is a small town in Germany. Actually I have post about the same phenomenon in two country, Guatemala and China. Other hubbers from USA also give a report that this also happen in USA and other country, although in small size. I will not reveal the cause, because I've written the sinkhole theory before, you can check my hub about this theory. But maybe I will give a little theory based on the trusted person in that area.
The same phenomenon also happened in the city of Saint-Jude, Montreal, Canada on May 10. This hole swallowed four persons from one family when suddenly a big hole gaping around their home. It also swallowed a truck that was passing through. Lucky, the truck driver survived from this incident. Giant big hole also appeared on Florida, USA. But for the Florida citizens a sinkhole was a natural phenomenon, this was not weird news.
Actually we all know and bored to read about this phenomenon again and again. But I have to share a fact about this phenomenon happen again in the other part of this earth. I get many comments from my friends. A lot of theory came up on my hub about big hole. Is the earth getting old? This is also a big reason for some my friends to answer why the big hole appear again and again. But this time I’ll share about another big hole with big size also appear in small town, in Germany. Maybe some of us have read about this from newspaper. I thought this news become an international issue.
Back to the news, a big hole was suddenly appeared in the middle of residential areas in the city of Schmalkalden, eastern Germany. The giant hole, which was said to have formed at about 3 a.m Monday, surprise many people around this area. I heard this incident swallowed an automobile and a resident garage. The good news is there’s no victim from this incident, no one was reported injured. Because of this hole six houses have been vacated and forced the evacuation of about 25 people from nine houses.
According to CNN, which quotes the local newspapers, a giant sinkhole is measuring more than 130 feet wide and 65 feet deep. The local resident near this area reported that they hear weird voices, it was like a loud roar in the Monday morning. Maybe this is a sign there will be a big hole in this area. This sound made the people afraid and suddenly the big hole formed, they reported this incident to the police officer. According Lutz Katschmann, the official office environment and geological state of Thuringia, this incident possibility caused by foundation rock under the soil. Authorities planned to fix this hole, I heard that to fill this hole they need about 1,000 truckloads of gravels. I think this is a big job to do. To remind us how big this holes. Many people believe this is a natural phenomenon. Actually, according to US Geological Survey sinkholes are commonly found in areas where the bedrock is limestone and the ground water also took a part to create this phenomenon. I thought we all knew the same phenomenon which happened in Guatemala, last year (Huffingtonpost reports). I heard other information from the Head Office of the Thuringian mountains, Hartmut Kiessling. He said that the sinkhole has a natural cause (ireport.cnn.com). You can watch the video from this incident below.
From many theories appear in the surface, I hope the best for this earth. We can't stop the natural phenomenon. But better to prevent and give our love to this earth. I believe the earth will love to us if we want to care and maintain from disaster which caused by human error.

A minute ago when I browse through internet, I found shocking news. This is really weird and I never found like this before. The weird phenomenon was happen in Guatemala.

This hole mysteriously appeared after the disaster.Another Big Hole in China (Complete with Sinkhole Theory)
Haven't lost the surprised me with a big hole in Guatemala City. But I heard another incident with the same scheme. It happened in China. We all know that natural phenomenon sometimes look weird. The big hole in Guatemala was shocking me much. And it happened again in China.

Salam, Pras. If this is happened to my backyard I will turn into swimming pool instead. :D
Thank you for the report, my friend.
These sinkholes are really disturbing, prasetio, even when we think we know what natural phenomena caused them. Thanks for keeping us updated on these catastrophes.
Thank you for sharing this information. I watched the incident on TV and wondered why. After reading your hub I get the answer why.
Thank you for sharing this, it IS scary, and yes we need to take care of mother earth, even send prayers.
Rated up!
This is really scary Prasetio. It makes you wonder where the next one will appear!
Thank you for this information I have not heard of.
This "hole" news intrigued me before, and still does. Thanks for update news that another one has just occurred in Germany. However, this one doesn't look as serious as the others.
Yes I was reading about this the other day in the paper, I had a feeling you would write about this. The reason people are so fasinated with this is because it's so strange and in many ways a bit scary. This one is large and in a nighborhood of families. Thank you for always sharing these interesting stories with us. Hope to see you soon...your friend and fan darski
I saw this on TV the other day. It is unbelievable to think that the earth can open and swallow you up.
I mean I will turn it into swimming pool instead, Pras. No. I have no swimming pool and no backyard yet though. LOL
This is no joking matter is it? I am sure the people who went down into one didn't think so, I will go back and read your other, I don't remember that I read that but I was not here a couple of days. Thank you for this important news we may have missed if not for you, you have given us a very good service.

Why can't there be a hole for some governments? God bless you Nephew! I loved it!
Reading about these Giant Holes is not boring. Thank you for giving different reasons why these may be caused. Your Hubs are always exciting, and not boring. Vote up, and Share.
Ok, this is really interesting stuff here. It's amazing what goes on around the planet. Thanks Prasetio, I had not heard about this. Awesome and up!
Hi, prasetio, it seems to be happening a lot, doesn't it? wow! I hope it doesn't happen over here, I live in a block of maisonettes! which is a house on top of a flat! it's a long way to fall! lol thanks for the great info, rated up, cheers nell
prasetio, Thank you for following up on New Big Hole in Schmalkaden Germany Complete with Video, which is great by the way. I'm so happy for your success, it's no surprise you deliver on some very interesting and amazing findings and rare moments in our history and universe. Keep up the great reporting. Love and Peace :)
This is so scary.I was in Fla. a couple of years ago and saw some sink holes. Your hub is very interesting. Thank you Prasetio.
Cheers
We've had several of those on the West Coast and it does seem odd, doesn't it? Great reporting, Prasetio and I had no idea they had this problem in Germany!
I can see you have done a whole lot of research on this topic. I suppose we are intrigued by these strange events. The police were called to the hole and they are still looking into it. Ho Ho. Maybe the earth is made of cheese. Interesting stuff though, cheers mate from sunny Australia.
Sinkholes have appeared in South Africa too, often associated here with the deep level mining that is done.
Thanks for sharing this information.
Love and peace

Fascinating post!
Strange phenomena seem to be happening more and more on our planet. What is even more scary they come without warning. You have researched this so well Prastio and I enjoyed watching the videos that accompany your writing. Awesome and voted up.
This is very scary. You're right we should take care of our planet or blow it off, and of course we should never cease asking for God's unending love and mercy. You are such a gifted hubber my friend... you share diverse hubs with so much sense and significance. You help your readers ponder and make better life. God bless!
It actually looks like the ground was sucked in – and this is the result of a lot of interesting intricacies underground inside the earth. It happens in our region because of mine-activities.
Once again you’ve brought a most interesting phenomenon under our attention. You are so good with this, my friend. I will never stop following you, for you surprise me time and again with something I did not know exist. Take care.
This is so totally amazing, big holes in many parts of the world anymore. The world is showing its displeasure with us maybe? Great hub, great pictures.
Many causes are known and some may never be fully understood. The sad part is that seems to be no early warning system so that people and animals are not injured. Wish I was smart enough to figure out which one of my hubs performs best. I have tried and just haven't accomplished it yet. I need someone more computer literate to lead me by the hand. Ha! Congratulations on your traffic! Hope the money is following that lead. You deserve it!
These things scare the heck out of me. You have so much traffic on your holes hubs because people love to scare themselves. You've given me the willies! Be safe in a scary world!
Interesting article, I heard of these but never read anything on them. Thanks for this article.
We had a dump truck fall through an Atlanta city street not to long ago, that resembled a ship sinking at sea! Interesting hub!
Prasetio- I'm glad your viewers are increasing. It's always fun to look back and see exactly which Hubs consistently draw readers. This was great! Kaie
You know....I was just talking to my mom this morning about your sink hole hubs because she heard about one and I told her there have been a few. I'm going to email this to her! I'm so intrigued by these!
Since they know if the bedrock of limestone and groundwater can contribute to this happening, hopefully they will rebuild differently. I do think that the earth shifting has something to do with it as well. Glad when no one gets hurt. Thanks for sharing. Voted and rated.
P30,
as a geologist, sinkholes are going to appen where the water table intersects the limestone bedrock. Dissolution holes that eventually breal to the surface are nothing spooky catastrophic and there are entire areas and topographies that exhibit this type of natural behavior- amazingly the areas sited are underlined by the limestone bedrock-The dissolution process has been happening for millions of years but now we humans are building on areas increasing the overhead weight and causing damage. if a sinkhole forms in the woods does it still make a sound...?
great facts voted up good job I'll check out your other hub too

Prasetio, this is really strange stuff. I think your right on with the point that we need to treat mother earth with more respect even if this happened due to natural phenomenon. Thanks for a very interesting hub. It's both intriguring and scary.
