The exact number of sinkholes in the U.S. is difficult to determine due to their spontaneous nature and varying sizes. However, thousands of sinkholes occur each year across the country, with states like Florida, Texas, and Alabama experiencing the highest frequency due to their geological conditions. While some sinkholes are small and go unnoticed, others can be large enough to cause significant damage to infrastructure and homes.

Is there any real video of black hole?

The answer is no. Compared with other objects in space black holes are quite small and emit no light or radiation, which makes them impossible to image across interstellar distances. Theoretically, you could see the event horizon of a black hole as a black ball against a background of stars, with light around it being severely distorted. However, the nearest black holes to us are many light years away, much farther than we are capable of traveling or sending probes. We do have simulated videos based on calculations on how black holes behave.
