Coincidence, the Nature Channel here did a documentary on the Bahamian blue holes last night. Do you think it wise to build an edifice so close to one? I believe the hole is created when the underground cave roof collapses. So if it's collapsed once and I construct a building close to the edge of it, could it happen again?

Those places look heavenly. I wish I had a "blue hole" to escape to.

Yah, I'll take blue holes any day. But even scientists like anthropologists prefer their version of a "black hole" that swallowed an indigenous girl 13,000 years ago.

NARRATOR: The black hole, "Hoyo Negro," is so big the beams of their flashlights cannot find its floor. Breathless with excitement, they begin their descent.

[...] BETO NAVA: "People don't see that you go there, it's pitch black. That's why it's called "negro" [Spanish]; it's 200-feet dome and it's totally dark. But with all of this technology that we're bringing, now we can finally see. It's amazing."
