A sinkhole said to be up to 100ft deep and just as wide opened up in the middle of a field of football pitches in the US, swallowing a huge light pole. The collapse, in the centre of Gordon Moore Park in Alton, Illinois, happened above a limestone mine on Wednesday morning, according to local reports. No injuries have been reported and all sports and events have been cancelled for a second day, Alton City Hall said in a post on Facebook, while investigations continue.
Lucky break 'Last week at that time, we had 60 to 70 people out there on the field for our soccer camp,' Marquette Catholic High School athletic director Brian Hoener told the Alton Telegraph. 'This could have been much worse.' Officials locked down the entire area and closed nearby roads, the Alton Telegraph reported.
