Hola Mark, List, nice catch...
Based on the photo, the only interpretation that appears sensible:

"Investigating the hole, measuring roughly 2-feet across and 5-feet deep,
Davidson, 57, said he doesn't believe it was caused by animals, lightning, or
"blue ice" falling from an airplane."

...is that Davidson himself is 2-feet across and 5-feet tall, though he
doesn't look that broad nor that short. Maybe they got confused with Buddy
Cianci?
Saludos, Doug
