A 100 foot diameter sinkhole and yet the house is still sitting there in the picture?

The house must be bigger than it looks.

It really bugs me that when somebody has died in a tragic accident, people joke about it.

That was somebody's son, somebody's brother who died at a young age. Rip.

People will be flocking to Florida to get rid of their unwanted "loved ones", it's cheaper than hiring a divorce lawyer.

Kylo Ren

A sink hole? That is a terrible thing to call his wife's vagina.

I'm inconsolable here, our thoughts at this time are with his family.
To think that one of the 7 billion people on earth actually died.
If we hadn't heard about it I'm sure everything would be OK.

Shane-KornSpace

Its not the fact that people die that bugs me. That's natural.

Its people who joke about a tragedy that bugs me. Death isn't funny and somebody's life shouldn't be joked about like that.

Thats grand so. The next mention here of a road death or child getting burnt to death or whatever will be met with jokes from me. Thats ok by you and a good few others then? Are we all agreed then?

If getting blugeoned to death by a clown with an giant comedy hammer it could be.

This is one of my worst nightmares. Can you imagine? Fast asleep and then suddenly you fall into nothingness. Christ, even thinking about it is giving me shivers.

If a child died in a fire in Florida or someone was killed in a car crash there, people would still not joke about it.

I hate crude and unnecessary jokes myself but sometimes the circumstances of a death call for a certain amount of levity.

Especially in a forum such as this one.

who will the yanks blame for this and declare war on

It's underground, they would use radar to detect it's layout. A bit of it opened up into the bedroom.

Well sink holes is another thing to add to the list of reasons not to go to Florida

(I have been there 3 times.)

Alligators, Pythons, Coral Snakes, Black Widows, Tornados, Hurricanes, Crime, Lightning, Heatstroke, Massive hailstones, Gun culture, Bible belt, Sharks, Jellyfish, 100% humidity......

There is a bit of a middle ground between being inconsolable and joking about it, don't you think? Would you really be fine with people mocking the death of your father, brother or son on an internet forum? Really?

anncoates

What a nightmarish way to die.

The poor bastard must literally have thought he was having a bad dream.

anncoates

And does everything thread about a disaster or tragedy in here have to turn into a hand-wringing debate about jokes?

Just ignore them if you don't like them.

Death has been joked about for thousands of years across multiple civilisations. Where have you been? Uranus?

humbert

The video clip associated with that article is very odd. The first half is reasonable enough with a policeman describing what happened and then the second half is just random shots of people doing nothing.


Also, joking about people dying is only bad if there's a reasonable chance of someone connected with the incident being needlessly hurt by it. The chances of someone close to him finding and reading this thread are very remote. For better or worse the situation is very different if the person is Irish, even more so if they are very widely known.
