I thought that was maybe a movie still from "Fantastic 4-Rise of the Silver Surfer", where the Surfer drills a bunch of pilot holes so the Earth can get sucked dry by Galactus (I'm not really that big a comic geek, I just pretend)

Alas, it's real. And it's not the first.

Every time I am doing a deep pit for soil evaluation I feel like I am in that hole.

 
What do you THINK is going to happen when you keep sucking stuff out of the earth? Equal and opposite reaction.

So what you're saying is that the sinkhole in Guatelmala is BP's fault?
