Chinese Sinkholes Linked to 2012

June 15, 2010

As reported by the Telegraph, the recent sinkhole that opened up in Guatemala has got people in China worried – and the 2012 movie that was a big hit in China could be to blame. Social comments included the following:

“Closer and closer to 2012” warned one commenter on the Netease platform. “Will what was the ocean become land and what is now land become the ocean?,” asked another. “Do aliens come out of these holes?,” questioned a third.

On and on the comments go: “God is very angry with earthlings polluting behavior and has decided to punish earthlings,” said a fourth, and “Let’s organize ourselves and quickly go to Tibet to find the ark,” enjoins a fifth.

Or my favourite, (can you hear the panic rising?), “Why are the holes so round? Even humans can’t make it this round. Why is there such frequency and intensity? Why aren’t there any reasonable explanations?”

The Telegraph has more on this story, and more sinkhole pictures from China.
