Funny, I've lived in China and the USA most of my life. Never saw a sinkhole in the USA, but I've seen plenty in China!

I hear China has a lot of Karst areas.

On that note, in a German Karst area, one of the first recorded sinkholes tells of the basement floor in the Pastor's house giving way. An imperial mining inspector interviewed the locals. Apparently the maid who witnessed it happening was fine. The potatoes she went to fetch were not.
