    The fill under the concrete settled, leaving a void under the concrete. This is not unusual. Unfortunately, this misleading news segement isn't unusual either.

      It's got to settle A LOT to leave a decent sized hole. They usually don't settle much. And won't settle at all without significant water getting in there.
