This hole should get a carbon tax.
Great find!

Throw a large amount of dynamite into the fires, cuts the oxygen long enough to possibly put out them out. Same way they put out burning oil fountains in the Gulf war. It would be hard though, that hole is pretty big...

Great find! It reminds me of something I read in Revelations from the New Testament about people being thrown into a lake of fire. I always pictured it being a hole just like in your picture for some reason.

For many people this would almost seem exactly like the hole to hell. I am reminded of a website I saw a long time ago that had audio files that were scary to listen to. Apparently there were recordings from a microphone that was lowered into a hole that lead to hell, where you could hear the screams and noises from the suffering souls in Lucifer's dungeons.
"Needless to say we were shocked to make such a discovery. But we know what we saw and we know what we heard. And we are absolutely convinced that we drilled through the gates of Hell!"
