Whoa! That's Huge!

Makes me dizzy looking at it! Wonder what aliens would think?

Wow, that's a hole! :eek: Why did they make it?

P.S. Errr, some people left awful comment there... definitely not for kids! lol I know Russian... :D

yeah, I saw that comment. It's like "ummmm...unneccesary?"

Nobody here is going to be able to understand Russian (except you :lol: )

That's one big hole!

Hey Chris, I understand Russian, also what happens if that hole fills with water?

Wow, that's amazing.. and gorgeous! "The suction above the hole resulted in several helicopter crashes, so all flight above the hole is prohibited now." :scared:

I can't imagine standing at the edge of that thing..

Mmmm, I don't remember who, but someone said he/she knows Russian...

@netaholic: they swore... :(

//EDIT//

Not only, iTux

Why would anyone want to stand on the edge?

Whoa, helicopters got sucked into it! :o That is big....

EDIT:

I don't think it could fill with water Ross...

Why would anyone want to stand on the edge?

To look in it? :D

Too scaried to get that close.

I would stand on the edge and look down. I wonder what happens if the driver of that truck drove off the path thing...

Why did they make it?

For Diamonds :)

Cool!

Wow, I found the spot for my next birthday party!

^ :lol:

He's got a bit of time to think about how that probably wasn't a good idea while he tumbles to the bottom. That or berate himself for getting on the worst carnival ride evar! Man, what was I *hurk*


^ :lol:

Seriously, wouldn't that be cool. Valet parking, now for your 2 hour ride to the bottom. We shall weed out those who are truely my friends, and those who pretend.

oh, btw...i bet they got a lot of diamonds from that hole. I still can't believe it's 1.25 km in the diameter. That's like as far as i run a night...and that is long :S

I wonder if they would do a tour.. I could pick up some rough diamonds and have them cut into a neckace :drool:

Wow, that's big!!!!!

I'm not sure if it would be very easy to find any diamonds though.

Whoa! 1.25 km diameter? 525 m deep? That's huge!

Mmmm, I don't remember who, but someone said he/she knows Russian...

@netaholic: they swore... :(

Not only, iTux

yup, I know Russian too. And I think it's ridiculous that they turned this into "Russia has the biggest hole in the world on its soil, so Russia must be better than America/rest of the world". I mean...I'm from Russia but that degree of nationalism is just unwarranted and uncalled for

what happens if that hole fills with water?
Obviously, it becomes the world's largest artificial swimming pool.

WoW :scared: it`s sooooooooooooooooooooooo big

omg its huge!
and is it really the largest hole?

they had that on ebaumsworld.com (contains bad language not suitable for kids) two weeks ago...

THAT IS HUGE!!!! Gee whiz....can you imagine?

can i imagine what??

Can you imagine a world where people didn't answer rhetorical questions or fail to infer meaning in colloquialisms? ;)

go ooon..

Since I started this thread I request it be closed.

why? then if it drifts away in cyberspace, no one else will see how big it is..

I'm requesting it closed because the thread is a few weeks old and there is no need for anyone to add to it.

or, you could leave it open and let it drift away the normal way..
