   Am I reading a "Gerry Anderson's THUNDERBIRDS"   
   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057790/ storyline here or something??   
      
   One of their storylines (from the '60's) was about a group of people   
   that fell through the crust over an old, burnt out rubbish dump that had   
   smouldered away over the years and left behind a great chasm that some   
   people had fallen into and needed rescuing from!!   
      
   Ah!! There you go!! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0766145/?ref_=ttep_ep_2
