Officials have been watching for more than a year as a sinkhole in Louisiana's Assumption Parish expands and engulfs land, swamp, and threatens homes. The sinkhole, discovered August 3, 2012, resulted from a collapsed underground salt dome cavern about 40 miles south of Baton Rouge.
It took just seconds for the sinkhole to swallow several giant trees. The parish's emergency management department caught it on video.

Thank you for explaining this video. I actually saw it yesterday on another site, but without any explanation, so I had no idea why this was posted or what the big deal was...
And it is a big deal. How long do they think it will take to fill the sinkhole? Or do they have any idea?
Very cool...
I don't think there are any plans to "fill" the sinkhole, LOL.
