This is not the first sinkhole I've seen over the years with such perfect roundness and I've even seen larger.
This does not shock me in the slightest. In fact what I do find shocking is the amount of people who are actually shocked by seeing it.
its like there's some kind of porous wall & then... nothing. Black emptiness. The abyss.
They should stretch some taut fabric over it, tie the fabric down with springs, and make it into the world's biggest trampoline.
We see tons of sinkholes here in Florida, but not with that verticality. It makes my nards hurt, just looking at it.
Here's a big one we had in the Orlando area in 1981. Most of ours take this shape, though few are this massive:

Sinkholes are an ongoing problem in Alaska due to settlement melting the permafrost. Without the permafrost, the soil loses integrity and sometimes undergoes a catastrophic collapse. Pity the moron who builds on permafrost!
Permafrost is the reason my parents' basement got 7 feet of water in it a few years ago. The ground was frozen, and the rain had nowhere else to go!
Permafrost is the devil.
Would you two jump on it? Seriously?
You couldnt pay me money to jump on a trampoline over a hole like that.
Me neither. I'd do it for free.
Where does that hole end?
Where do you parents live, out of curiosity? 'Cause if they built on or near permafrost, they really shouldn't even have a basement.
Illinois, outside of Chicago. Everybody has a basement.
It was a freak day in February where the temperature was in the 70s (after just being below freezing the day before). All the snow melted, and then there was a big rain storm. We didn't stand a chance.
This was back in 1996, so it's not like it happens a lot.

^^^ Awesome. 
Now I want one of the city council members to shout "No time to discuss this in committee!" when they're trying to decide how to fix it.

God, Nero is such an asshole.
There goes the neighborhood.

Jim Joyce doesn't think it's a hole.
Well, it was called permafrost when I learned about it in elementary school, so I don't know what to tell you.
