The Horrifying Truth Of Sinkholes | THE WEATHER FILES: TOTAL IMPACT | Earth Stories

Just a thiought. On the collapsing hotel, the fire alarm would be thd best way to alert everyone. Door to door is pointless.

Most people are useless during an emergency, but there are those who can keep a level head and plan quickly to survive, those are the people you want to listen to! They're obvious but not obnoxious.

Also? There’s something to be said about not building on swampland. Mother Nature may want her land back.

New fear unlocked . Turns out I'm not even completely safe as i sit here in my home on the sofa watching YouTube 😂😂

Thanks for the warning about how many theme parks Orlando has. Theme parks are my idea of hell.

Many of the buildings in Florida are built on reclaimed land, land that was once a body of water or swamp. They fill it with dirt and build on top, what could go wrong?

The 2013 sinkhole in Seffner was only about two miles from my home. I had been in that neighborhood the weekend before this happened.

The security man was such a hero!
You couldn't pay me to live in FL, it's a humid tourist trap land.

Sink holes are interesting. You seriously 😒 can't learn enough about them. I've learned a lot from this video alone, and has really wetted my taste to learn more.

You don't build on swamp land.

I have had two sinkholes occur in my life so far the last one was in my yard just six feet from my back door. So scary! So I refuse to go to Florida ever. This is a nightmare! Those caves are another nightmare!!!!!

Not one of these people had the wherewithal to pull the fire alarm. Geeze.

FYI- central Florida isn’t beachfront. Working for a hotel company? It was frustrating when on the “front lines” and on the phones, taking calls for reservations & folks would ask for ocean front rooms at WDW area properties. Who gets yelled at? The hotel employee. Editing like this makes me giggle and sinkholes are really not a laughing matter. Just letting you know. ✌🏽

You could say, that sinkholes really belongs to earth 🌎, but humans decided to built houses 🏘

Brilliant documentary and explanation_ thank you 💖

There was a home in Mulberry, Fl that did this. The family woke to rafters cracking and bowing, they fled the house in their PJ’s and made it out. By 10 am the house was fully engulfed. The county filled in the hole and placed a playground on it, I’ve never seen a child out there. Sink holes in that part of Florida re very cooked the phosphate mines have been dogging the earth for about a hundred years. Nearly every home in Mulberry has cracks. I also remember the one in Valrico about 20 miles from Mulberry to the west close to Tampa. A man lost his life and this was unbelievable but it happened.

they say florida is supposed to be some kind of paradise sound more like hell to me and if not a sink destroying your house its a hurricane you can't win
so then i wonder why florida is not a great big wild life preserve

Yet ppl dont think we neèd to live in harmony with nature.

When I lived in South East Florida, the block I lived in was on a dead coral reef. Multiple times a day there were sounds like a bowling ball hitting the lane. We were even on a news station, back in either the late 80’s or early 90’s… Then if you cross the state from east to west, the highway nicknamed Alligator Alley.

Why do people say, “The best way I can explain it…”? it’s BEEN explained. You are DESCRIBING it.
