스크랩 뉴스 거대한 구멍, 계속되는 기현상!

[사도나다나엘]

6월초부터 과테말라에서 화산이 분출하고 게다가 홍수까지 나면서 재난을 치르고 있습니다.

거기에 직경 30미터의 거대한 구멍, sinkhole(씽크홀)이 발생했고,

이번에는 중국에서 이런 현상이 발생했습니다.

전세계 도처에서 이러한 거대구멍이 생기는 기현상이 나타나고 있습니다. 

중국 신화통신은 중국의 도처에서 이런 기현상이 발생하고 동굴도 형성되고 있다는 소식입니다.

아마도 광산지역에 미묘하고 정교한 지진이 발생하는 것으로 추정하고 있습니다.

After the spectacular picture of a sinkhole in Guatemala caused by tropical storm Agatha, the Chinese internet has been abuzz with reports of large numbers of the eerily circular formations suddenly appearing across China.

Even straight-laced old Xinhua has got the bug, reporting (in one of those sensationalist, stability-busting headlines for China’s state news agency is renowned): “Cave-ins found in many areas of China”

I’m sure there are lots of excellent geological, meteorological and man-made reasons why these things appear ? earthquakes, droughts, old coal mine workings ? but that would be far too boring for the febrile minds of China’s 400m netizens.

And looking at the pictures, I half-share their collective shiver of anticipation that these things are unnatural portents of catastrophe.

The end-of-the-world-is-nigh movie 2012 (was that the worst film ever made?) was a big hit in China, so it’s no surprise that lots of the discussion of these apparitions in the earth make reference to that. “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?” Why indeed? Cue X-files music, pull down that battered copy of Nostradamus’s predictions from the bookshelf, scratch off the last days of the Mayan calendar (ends 2012) and steep yourselves in the Apocalypse of St John.

That’s if you like that sort of thing. Me, I’m off for a beer while I wait for the earth to swallow me up.
