sinkhole, interesting place
Formed May 21, 2002
Oil field "sink holes" are not that uncommon. As the oil is pumped out of the Earth a "void" is formed. With no support holding up the earth, it falls in - a sink hole. Note how dark the hole is - oil infill. Some oil fields have water pumped back into the earth
to keep this from happening, not much water around Wink, Tx.
