No its lego model

Wow , if that footage is real then I am astonished , i mean wow thats one BIG mess . Imagine the cnfusion and panic at the logistics department that is in charge of those containers. Now that will be one big problem for a few insurance companies

I do not understand a word that they are saying (anybody able to translate) but this seems to be a few weeks old , at the 2:17 minute mark there is a date shown of 17 e 18/10/2010 and I assume this means the date of the event ?

iv seen on the internet a few of these have happened recently whats causing them?

The facts are.

I only know about these sink-holes, for just maybe like a year.
But there are allot of them, strange that I never heard about it before .

At first i thought it was fake, especially with all the concrete and containers falling in, but it's really sinking in now. Either something is going on to the Earth, or video cameras have infiltrated every location on the planet, which has increased these sightings.

I hope your last assumption is right.

edit on 5/11/10 by Thill because: (no reason given)

Why wouldn't it be real?

Jeez, the UFO hoaxers really have a negative effect on peoples minds. (no offense to you)

Anyway, that is one of the most insane videos I have ever seen.

A sinkhole, also known as a sink, shake hole, swallow hole, swallet, doline or cenote, is a natural depression or hole in the Earth's surface caused by karst processes — the chemical dissolution of carbonate rocks[1] or suffosion processes[2] f.e. in sandstone. Sinkholes may vary in size from less than 1 to 600 meters (3.3 to 2,000 ft) both in diameter and depth, and vary in form from soil-lined bowls to bedrock-edged chasms. They may be formed gradually or suddenly, and are found worldwide. These terms are often used interchangeably, though many distinguish between features a surface stream flows into and features with no such input. Only the former are described as sinks, swallow holes or swallets.

ETA:Karst Processes...

Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite.[1] Due to subterranean drainage, there may be very limited surface water, even to the absence of all rivers and lakes. Many karst regions display distinctive surface features, with sinkholes or dolines being the most common. However, distinctive karst surface features may be completely absent where the soluble rock is mantled, such as by glacial debris, or confined by a superimposed non-soluble rock strata. Some karst regions include thousands of caves, even though evidence of caves that are big enough for human exploration is not a required characteristic of karst.

Precisely because of your last sentence , but I am fairly sure this is real No offence taken , and you are right the ufo hoaxes do have an impact on the community but if its a bad one I am not sure , it's better to have a little doubt on fantastic vids , and you have to agree that is one weird sinkhole

Absolutely stunned by how fast that thing took place. If you had been standing on the spot there would have been no time to get away.

I am surprised that it is being called a sink hole tho seeing as this was part of a sea side cliff. My thoughts would be more along the lines of a washout of some sort, involving a rising sea level or something.

Stunning video tho. I'll be thinking of this anytime I go near a sea-side cliff from now on unless it is solid rock; and even then I will be more anxious. Not a good time to be living in such places. Mother nature is getting cranky.

i dont think they should get an insurance pay out... theyre a harbor. they should be aware that eventually the water would take over... sort of like all the people who cant gef flood insurance because they live by a creek or river... let them suffer.. the companies that is..

Wow. I used to say these were caused by washout from underneath.
That certainly is not the case here.
That is freakin awesome,.. must be a huge cost in goods

1000s of years from now people are going to dig up these old relics. might be a way to preserve our existance.

How many sinkhole's where created this year?

From what I understand, it seems like an area of over 4 or 5 football fields was dragged into the river together with 100 containers and 60 of those big trucks that carry containers. There was over 30 million Reais(brazilian currency) in damage(something like over 20million Dollars) Plus it seems like 2 workers are missing. I myself am Brazilian and I've never seen anything like what I saw in the OPs video....I've seen some landslides in Rio and in Salvador but nothing like that......it almost looks like it was taken from a movie or something...That was just huge...and it seems like they can't find the 2 missing workers that were dragged into the river with all of that stuff....
Sad news....
