Earth decides to eat oil equipment


A giant sinkhole opened up in Daisetta, Texas Wednesday, swallowing up oil tankers, oilfield equipment, cars, and a few telephone poles. Officials aren't quite sure what caused the huge, 600-ft. across piece of earth to give way, but I'm pretty sure I know why it happened: the Earth is really pissed off. All of that abuse to our environment has really come home to roost and now Mother Earth is fighting back.


OK, I don't really mean that literally. Although it might be kinda cool to see a movie-like attack by the forces of nature, that's probably not what's behind the crater. Most people suspect that this freaky black hole has developed as a result of Daisetta's history -- it's an oil boomtown back in the day.

During theTexas oil boom, drilling companies weren't know for doing much research before they started drilling holes in the ground. So, the giant pit is probably the result of some kind of irresponsible drilling in an unstable area -- how symbolic. Who knows, maybe the Earth is exacting its revenge on the oil industry. Just in case, don't stand too close to any oil refineries.
