Golly!!!

The world's biggest pit is located in Russia. The giant hole is actually a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia near the town Mirna. It is 525 meters deep and 1.25 km in the diameter.

Facts are facts. That’s a big freakin pit!

The following truck loader is one of the biggest in the world - length 13.36 meters, width 7.78 meters and height 6.65 meters.



This gaint machine appears just a small point in the next image…




The suction above the hole resulted in several helicopter crashes, so all flight above the hole is prohibited now.
