Mother Russia has a big hole

The air zone within this mine is closed for helicopters - a few accidents occurred when they were "sucked in" by downward air flow...

Am I the only one who doesn't think that makes any sense?

Welcome to the internet.

It is amazing though, from the standpoint of sheer determination.

Speak for yourself, buddy. I've never seen this in all the years I've had the internet.

The size of this thing is absolutely amazing.

Yeah, I called BS on that one as soon as I read it.

They should fill it with water to make a big swimming pool

They should build a bridge over it to make it a tourist spot. What else are you going to do if you're a dinky town in the middle of nowhere whose only claim to fame is a giant hole in the ground?

It must be intimidating if you had to work in a pit mine like that.
