Take a look at the biggest open diamond mine in the world. It is not from the next "Star Wars" film, it is real!!!
Mirny, Russia, East Siberia.
525 m deep, 1200 meters in diameter. The air zone within this mine is closed for helicopters - happened after a few accidents when they were "sucked in" by downward air flow...


This giant truck BELAZ (200-220 ton payload ) looks like small spot on next picture...

And finally look from a satellite:

pretty cool eh?

 

[radioheadrule83]

Awesome looks like the earth is opening up to swallow itself whole

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

If there are no monkeys doing the mining then this mine is worthless.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Truly, the A-Hole of modern civilization.

 

[Jacobi]

Whoa. You could trap dinosaurs in that hole. MANY OF THEM

 

[COCKLES]

They should have been careful transporting those Xboxes.

 

[Dyne]

So where did they dump all the earth for that? That's crazy.

 

[Loki]

They should have been careful transporting those Xboxes.

:lol

 

[Jacobi]

So where did they dump all the earth for that? That's crazy.

That's a very good question. Maybe that mountains on the upper right on the fourth picture were earth from tat hole ?

 

[ImNotLikeThem]

So where did they dump all the earth for that? That's crazy.

from the looks of it, that big splotch of dirt on the top right .

 

[AB 101]

Just the place to go when you have to take a serious dump.

 

[Shinobi]

So that's where they buried the ET carts...

 

[Borys]

That's a long way down.

 

[Jeffahn]

Looks to me like game of marbles got a bit out of hand.

[Smiles and Cries]

poor Earth

 

[impirius]

"This town needs an enema"

 

[Nightbreeze]

Wow, and I used to think my city's open pit nickle mine was huge...

 

[WARCOCK]

It looks like a nuke crater, the ruskies were big on nuclear engineering in the past. OR COULD IT BE!!!! THE MEGATON!@!!!

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Holy shit, that is fucking UNREAL. That's amazing.

 

[Ned Flanders]

The aerial view of that town just screams "city planning". Reminds me of all those South American cities they developed in the 60's..

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Looking for THESE?

 

[WordAssassin]

I'd feel really uneasy living next to that. Some gigantic H. P. Lovecraft beast that time forgot is gonna rear its ugly head out of that the day they drill too far down...

 

[dkeane]

Reminds me of this girl I went out with.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Money!!!! $$$$$$$$

 

[Escape Goat]

[DarthMungKei]

Where is Buffy because it looks like some idiot re-opened the Hellmouth

 

[belgurdo]

Reminds me of this girl I went out with.

Gaping and worn out because everyone in a 100 mile radius had dug into her?

 

[GaimeGuy]

Gaping and worn out because everyone in a 100 mile radius had dug into her?

[astro_girl]

[Naked Snake]

Just the place to go when you have to take a serious dump.

:lol :lol

 

[lexy]

What's at the very bottom of the hole?

 

[EviLore]

What's at the very bottom of the hole?

 

[bjork]

Man, no way would I drive that dumptruck on that spiral, up or down. One sneeze or something, and goodbye forever.

 

[Hitokage]

Hah, those who think people can actually have an effect on the earth are fooling themselves!

 

[teiresias]

Wow, I wonder if Sephiroth is down there.

 

[Date of Lies]

i wonder what keeps it from getting flooded.

500 meters is nothing! Peice of cake!

 

[jett]

:lol at thread.

Damn, that's one big ass hole. I wonder how long it took them to dig that deep.

 

[Desperado]

Damn, that's one big ass hole.

:lol

 

[capslock]
