The collapse, measuring over 100 feet in diameter and believed to be more than 100 feet deep, seems to be encroaching upon the limestone mine of Bluff City Minerals.
The collapse, measuring over 100 feet in diameter and believed to be more than 100 feet deep, seems to be encroaching upon the limestone mine of Bluff City Minerals. Interestingly, this quarry has been actively mining beneath that particular area of Alton for numerous years, situated right next to the western side of the park.
Right at the heart of the field, the new artificial turf soccer field, which is conveniently located closest to the park's main entrance road, experienced a sudden collapse. Fortunately, Alton Parks and Recreation Director Michael Haynes confirmed that no injuries were reported, and the miners working nearby were unharmed(The Telegraph).
Alton Mayor David Goins emphasized the importance of the situation, stating, "Thankfully, no one was present on the field during the collapse, and the fact that no one was harmed is truly a relief."
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
