Five Amazing Holes

1. Kimberley Big Hole – South Africa

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097-meter-deep mine yielded over three tons of diamonds before being closed.

2. Glory Hole – Monticello Dam, California

This is the Glory Hole at Monticello Dam, and it’s the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second. Β A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir.

3. Great Blue Hole, Belize

This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize Β There are numerous blue holes around the world but none as stunning as this one.

4. Sinkhole in Guatemala

This photo is of a sinkhole that occurred February 2007 in Guatemala . It swallowed two dozen homes and killed at least three people.

5. This Indian Parliament is the famous Rat Hole.

It is capable of swallowing Millions of Tax Payers Money annually, never to be heard from again! It is reputed to contain at least 534 + 250 ass”holes …:)

Got this as a forward on an e-mail…no credit to me…all credit to the respective photographers..:)

    @ S.R. – True Sir..:)

  6. Kimberley hole was striking though the sinkhole in Guatemala was scary to imagine. But I would rubbish the 5th one as childish. I know you have just quoted the forward mail but then the democracy is for the people, by the people and of the people. It is easy to mock at a faulty system rather than working towards rectifying the mistake πŸ™‚
