A Trip Gone Wrong EVERY PLACE THEY WALK THEY IS A SINK HOLE, WILL THEY MAKE IT OR WILL THE SINHOLES TAKE THEM INSTEAD. Alexandria Do 3/22/2015 An outbreak of massive sinkhole's in China appears the last time???? The people of China are affraid of the sinkhole's that are appear over the country, They say that the couse is erosion. But 26 hole's in a few months??? Is the earth cracking up? What do you ATSrs think about it? www.theepochtimes.com... While the Guatemalans are wondering if the giant sinkhole formed on June 1 in their capital city is an isolated case, on the other side of the globe, the Chinese have discovered at least eight sinkholes that suddenly formed in the past two weeks across their country, and many more have appeared during the past two months. The latest known sinkhole formed at 12:25 a.m. Beijing time on June 4, in the middle of a freeway in Zhejiang Province on the nations eastern coast. The sinkhole measured 20 feet deep and 27 feet wide. A sinkhole occurred on June 4 on a freeway in China's Zhejiang Province. (Photographer name withheld by request) The hole occurred when a light truck drove over the spot. The truck rolled over when its rear wheels were caught at the edge of the hole. The slightly injured driver climbed out and stopped traffic when he saw the giant hole. Police arrived within 10 minutes and blocked the road. A spokesperson for the local freeway management office said experts on site suspected that the sudden collapse of an underground karst cave created by eroded limestone caused the sinkhole, but the investigation is ongoing. Later the same day, about 300 miles west in Nanchang City, capital Jiangxi Province, a moving car was trapped when a hole about the size of the car suddenly opened up on a main road. On June 3, four huge sinkholes opened up in Guangxi Province where a torrential storm was raging. According to Chinese state media reports, more than 600 villagers had to be evacuated because of them. Three smaller holes were found between May 27 and May 30 in southwestern Sichuan Province, less than 80 miles from the Wenchuan epicenter of the deadly May 2008 Sichuan earthquake that killed approximately 80,000 people. In Yibin City about 260 miles from the earthquakes epicenter, 26 larger sinkholes have formed since April 27. Prelude to Disaster? The plane landed and I sighed in relief we were in Florida. Get your bag and lets go Kate, said my Mom, she was not the happiest person about coming to Florida mostly because on her honeymoon with my Dad they came here and 2 people died from a sinkhole and, now my Mom is paranoid of sink holes. We went to go pick up Willie my dog from his plane ride and then we got into the car, during the car ride I heard a loud crash, I was too excited to worry. As soon as we got to the hotel I got into my swimming suit and rushed to the pool. My Mom stayed back to relax and watch some TV. Mom flipped through the channels when she saw the Florida news saying Sinkholes outbreak That is everything Mom needed to hear. Kate, Kate! she rushed to the pool yelling. What happened Mom? Nothing but we should probably get out of the water and come inside If it is nothing I can stay, I just learned a new trick I think it is best your inside with me, now com- There was a loud crash and my Mother pulled me out of the pool with fright. I knew we should not have come to Florida My Mom said about 2 times. What Mom, is it an earthquake, a giant monster, a tsunami what? I continually said while we were walking in. Finally my Mom stopped and looked me in the eye and said Sink holes. I wasnt too worried, well not as much as my Mom at least. Complementary towel Said some manager at the hotel. OKAY! I said leaning my hand toward one. My Mom pulled me away and said, Where was the last sink hole in this area do you know? Yes maam the last sink hole was about two miles from here he said. WHAT! yelled my mom we ran upstairs to our room, I got into my comfy clothes while my mom searched the internet and watched the TV. http://www.usgs.gov/blogs/features/files/2014/07/NationalMapMain.jpgIt will be all right Mom, I constantly said. As I glanced on the computer I saw the biggest hole in the ground. Thats a sinkhole mom those are sink holes. I said proudly. I know said my mom sarcastically. Mom do we have to leave Florida I asked, yes honey, it doesnt look to bad but it can get really bad She said. She booked a flight and we walked to the airport with Willie when boom a sinkhole right behind us, we ran BOOM another sinkhole. The ground was cracking and our hearts were pounding so hard as we were running towards the last flight to home. Willie hurry lets go I kept saying Come on boy hurry. A sinkhole fell beneath us Willie I called. His leg slipped I have never felt so worried in my life. I felt like my heart stopped. My Mom gasped. Willie? I said sadly, I wanted to start crying, my Mom and I walked a few steps when I hear the dangling of Willies collar WILLIE!! I said. After I got Willie I kept running and the ground felt like silk. We arrived at the airport and there were no flights available, my Mother was freaking out! We were stuck at the airport, there were no flights and I was pretty scared now. I was surrounded by TVs everywhere saying watch out for the sinkholes. The ground was going to be really thin. I was tired. I wish I was home where there were fewer sinkholes. Finally, the plane was ready to take off we were ready to leave Florida the same day we came. We looked out the window and saw all the sinkholes and all the tragedies that have happened. We were quite the entire ride. I slept. We got ready to arrive and got all of our stuff together and before we knew it we were home.
