Siberian Crater
« on: July 18, 2014, 02:49:42 AM »
Mysterious crater in Siberia spawns wild Internet theories

A helicopter pilot and his oil industry passengers reportedly spotted and videotaped this gaping hole in the Earth in a remote part of far northern Siberia. The crater is estimated to be about 80 meters, or 262 feet, wide. No one is sure just how deep it goes.

The crater is in an area called Yamal, which translates as "end of the world."

According to The Siberian Times, the hole may actually have formed about two years ago, but previous reports and photos were thought to be fake. Now Russian scientists are trekking to the area to check it out and try to determine the cause.

Oil industry passengers, eh?
Sounds like somebody sucked too much outta the ground.
Either that or Siberia really is the sphincter of the planet.
