The gaint hole is actually a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia near the town Mirna.It is 525 meters deep and 1.25 km in the diameter.
The following truck loader is one of the biggest in the world - lenth 13.36 meters, width 7.78 meters and height 6.65 meters.
This gaint machine appears just a small point in the next image…
The suction above the hole resulted in several helicopter crashes, so all flight above the hole is prohibited now.

It would cause the wind blowing above it to rotate due to its shape and hence would create a sort of hurricane which would pull the things above it.

Sorry to be an ass here guys... but u guys are saying WOW, Nice Find, bla bla bla.... u know what i see??? I see, could that be the reason the world is having such a disaster period. With floods all over the world tsunami, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruption etc....
Human GREED to find wealth... Juz look at it as a huge pimple (acne) on earth... wud u be happy if that hole is on ur face?? certainly not.. so does this earth... Reason why i relate this hole with the earth current disaster around the world?? Coz it says, it creats a suction, distrupts the normal wind flow, causing it to flow as it should not meant to be flow... thus it may create a chain or reaction to the movement of the sea, or digging the huge hole causing an earth quakes in Indonesia.. ??
Am i talking facts here guys..?? giv it a thought.. maybe this theory can help us all man kind... ur family my family and all of us in this world.
Anyways good find.. lets dicuss to proof this theory...
Posted by fatreg
we've been digging holes for years and years..
if you wanna get into it.. didnt jesus spend his last days in a cave??
if your against this as a diamond mine does that mean you dont use: gas? petrol? electricity?

i didnt say im against it, i just said cud this be the reason its causing all this natural disaster...
Yes we have been digging for YEARS.. so THUS its finally taking its peak point/boiling point wateva it is, the reaction is taking place now...
Posted by Glenny
you know what, i agree 02, we are greedy. I guess it just keeps the rich snobs happy, and they can buy peoples opinions, which is why i dont like rich snobs. People have DIED because of this (helicopter crashes) and i dont think thats fair on all the people who have suffered... but still... MASSIVE!

Hi!
I tried to find it on Google Earth but couldn't figure out how..
Latitude: 62°31'41.24"N
Longitude: 113°58'24.61"E
Where do I copy these into ?
Thanks!
Ofiaich
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
copy and past:
62 31 41.24"N, 113 58 24.61"E
stick it into the search box and it should scour the eart and find it for u, although it is a bit to the right on mine
Posted by ofiaich
Luke-the-magic-man
thanks!
I zoomed right in doing that and got what looked like a culture plate, with pink and white blotches everywhere!
I zoomed out and could find Mirny, but could see The Hole clearly...
Think it is under the clouds !
Oh well, better hire a helcopter and get a closer look!
