  1. The event looks real enough, but I was wondering if the walls of the hole were slightly enhanced. The lighting somehow doesn't look quite right.

    Whether it's real or fake, either way it's pretty goddamn impressive.

    It is real. It's happened a few times before.
    Apparently the water from the sewers there erodes the rock the city is built on at an astonishing rate.
    It's actually happened before, in 2007. A hole exactly comparable: 100 meters deep, 30 meters wide!

    Wow, pretty amazing. Must be a gruesome way to go though, when the planet suddenly decides to eat you.

  11. Interesting that the Americans had a "small team" of geologists rooting around. A skeptic may say that they were looking for a more tangible reason for helping in the region?

    But that would be a cynical assessment of the situation.

    “This will become the backbone of the Afghan economy”, except that the money probably will be for foreign countries, as usual. Or am I too cynical as well?

    Quite cynical indeed.
    Slightly akin to evil tongues and minds suggesting that Marshall help really was instigated to kickstart post-war American industries. (Point being that even if there is a clear self-serving interest, that doesn't mean by a long shot that that wouldn't have short and long term beneficial effects in the region).

    An amazing color map that traces the subtle but all pervasive influence the pull of gravity has across the globe.

    Goce satellite views Earth's gravity in high definition.

    A very informative, quite fascinating article.
