    After looking at this video:

    This does not look like a true sinkhole, but that the soil is settling behind that large retaining wall the builder built.

    One homeowner said he had bought the house only 3 months ago. Looks like the builder, Pulte, will be buying back several homes.

    Is it an old landfill site or something? Sinkholes generally have a cause.

    They arent calling it a sinkhole anymore, but a landslide or something.


    Probably Centex's fault for not doing things correctly.

    Centex is screwed on this one. They built that wall, and by the way some of the residents were talking on the news, any time someone complained, they just slapped some concrete on it, instead of bringing out an engineer to check the soundness.

    They sure have. I've been glued to my twitter feed all day. They're officially calling it a slope failure now.

    basically its not exhibiting the signs of a sinkhole so they dont know what it is, but dont want to call it a sinkhole since it doesnt seem to be that.

    The original profile was a basically a hill. Centex embanked fill material behind a 20 ft' cantilevered gravity wall which is now apparently failing due to unknown forces.

    I can see the lawsuit against Centex now...


    ...ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

    Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

    But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!

    Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major construction company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense!

    And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
