Holes

DS says: very interesting.

Also, remember the prophecy ( I forgot where it is written), about WATER pouring out of the Temple Mount at the time of Mashiach, and irrigating the South, making Israel totally fertile. And the fact that water is already seeping through the Kotel (is that where? I forgot all the details).

And then there's this hole. http://myrightword.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post.html that opened up on the Temple Mount during the earthquake on Friday.

  7  Amazing Holes

1   Kimberley Big Hole -South Africa



apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in  the world, this 1097 metre deep mine yielded over 3 tons  of diamonds before being closed in  1914.





the amount of earth removed by workers is estimated  to total 22.5 million tons.

2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam< /  SPAN> 

a glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity  and water needs to be drained from the  resevoir.



this is the glory hole belonging tomonticellodam  incaliforniaand it's the largest in the world, its size  enabling it to consume 14400 cubic feet of water every  second.





the hole can be seen at the top left of the photo  above. if you were to jump in for some reason your  slightly damp body would shoot out near the bottom of the  dam (below).




3.  Bingham CanyonMine,Utah




this is supposedly the largest man-m ade excavation  on earth. extraction began in 1863 and still continues  today, the pit increasing in size constantly. in its  current state the hole is 3/4 mile deep and 2.5 miles  wide.





4.Great BlueHole,  Belize




situated 60 miles off the mainland ofbelizeis  this incredible. Geographical phenomenon known as a blue  hole. there are numerous blue holes around the world but  none as stunning as this  one.



at surface level the near perfectly ci rcular hole  is 1/4 mile wide, the depth in the middle reaching 145  metres. obviously the hole is a huge hit with divers. read  more here. 



  
  
  5.Mirny DiamondMine,  Serbia





i'm pretty sure most people have seen this one.  it's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open  diamond mine in the world. at 525 metres deep with a top  diameter of 1200 metres there's even a no-fly zone above  the hole due to a few helicopters being sucked in.  



the red arrow in the photo above is pointing to a  huge truck.




6. Diavik Mine,Canada





this incredible mine can be found 300km northeast  ofyellowknifein  canada.





the mine is so huge and the area so remote that it  even has its own airport with a runway large enough to  accomodate a boeing 737. it also looks equally as cool  when the surrounding water is  frozen.

7.  Sinkhole,  Guatemala



a sinkhole is caused when water (usually rainwater  or sewage) is soaked up by the earth on a large scale,  resulting in the ground  collapsing.



these photos are of a sinkhole which occured early  this year inguatemala. the hole swallowed a dozen homes  and killed at least 3  people.




officials blamed the monster of a hole on a  ruptured sewage  pipe.
