Sinkhole swallows soccer field in Illinois after mine collapses

Like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, a viral video of the Illinois soccer field sinkhole has captured the attention of people everywhere.

On Wednesday morning a soccer field in Alton, Illinois, gave way after a mine underneath the park collapsed.

Security camera footage shows the shocking moment that a 30-feet deep hole emerged at the field.

We’re so glad this happened when a game or practice wasn’t scheduled or else this could have been a tragic story.

The fields sat above a limestone mine. New Frontier Materials, the mine operator, attributed the shocking moment to a “surface subsidence” per local news.
