Sinkhole Swallows Soccer Field!

A massive sinkhole, 100 feet wide and 30 feet deep, suddenly opened up in a soccer field in Alton, Illinois, leaving everyone stunned.

The sinkhole formed over an old limestone mine, which suggests that the collapse might be connected to underground mining activities.

Thankfully, no one was using the field at the time, so there were no injuries, but the incident highlights the potential dangers of sinkholes.

Experts are investigating the cause of the collapse and exploring ways to prevent similar incidents in the future.
