Gigantic Sinkhole Swallows At Least 12 Buildings (Video)
A sinkhole nearly 200-foot wide in China’s Sichuan Province has swallowed at least 12 buildings and is expected to keep growing.
The sinkhole opened up around 12:40 a.m. Friday in the city of Guangyuan, Shanghaiist reported. As of 6:30 p.m., the sinkhole had swallowed 12 buildings, but no one was seriously injured.
Many who have encounter sinkholes have not been so lucky. In March, a sinkhole opened up underneath the bedroom of a sleeping Florida man, swallowing him entirely.
In August 2012, a man in Taiwan was killed after falling into a huge sinkhole in the wake of a typhoon; and that same month, an Idaho woman died after crashing into a sinkhole on the highway caused by gophers.

THAT sinkhole in the image is NOT the sinkhole that is being discussed in this article. Your article is horribly misleading based on the picture that you’ve presented. It may be worth re-checking your sources as ‘common sense’ takes place here. The picture shows a hole at an intersection on the street. Now, based on the article you’ve presented, the hole is only two hundred feet wide, making it IMPOSSIBLE to have swallowed twelve buildings, unless those buildings were in the middle of the intersection, and all less than fifteen feet across. It takes only basic math and common sense to see that there is NO WAY that this article is truthful. It DOES appear to be 200ft wide, but there were not twelve buildings that fell into that hole. Now, if the image is of another hole because you could not find a picture of the other, you have only done what CNN would have done. Exaggerate certain things to draw attention to your page. Which in my case is reaching an all time low for alternative media. Especially when it is not truthful.
