Many people have been wondering for days now what caused a massive sinkhole to mysteriously appear in a Boston neighborhood park.
They may have their answer Thursday morning; the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, along with an archaeologist, is expected to hold a 10:30 a.m. press conference to provide an update on the 40-foot deep, 3.5-foot wide sinkhole in Ronan Park in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
Barriers have been set up around the gaping hole to keep people and small animals out of it since shortly after it was discovered Sunday by a father walking in the area.
Following the discovery at the base of a steep hill, Boston Parks and Recreation said an engineering firm would take a look at the hole and bring in a probe to see what’s down below.
City officials said at the time they suspected it could be an old cracked drain pipe that possibly gave way after the recent rain.
The gigantic hole, which is at the base of a steep hill, was discovered Sunday by a dad walking in the area. He called 311 he says, and when he wasn’t satisfied with the immediacy of the response, he called 911.
While officials have been investigating, residents have been coming to the park to catch a glimpse of the hole that seems never-ending.
“To me I think the whole thing is going to fall," Jyel Ancrum said. "I don’t know what’s under here so. I just had to come see it. I don’t know it was that big...it’s very deep.”
“At first we thought they were redigging for a light post or something then we looked over and you couldn’t see the bottom," Matt Bergeson said. "It was crazy.”
“It’s kind of scary because I’m short you know. I’m afraid of heights," Jeremiah DePina said. "I’m short man so if I go down there I’m not coming back.”
