As people were boarding a bus in Xining, China, a large sinkhole opened up, causing the bus to nosedive into the deep pit. Tragically, six people died and at least 16 others were injured.
According to BBC:
The incident occurred on Monday evening outside a hospital in Xining, the capital of Qinghai province.
CCTV footage showed an explosion inside the sinkhole shortly after the bus and bystanders fell inside on Monday evening...
The footage from the latest incident shows the moment people waiting at a bus stop are forced to flee as the ground underneath the bus starts to cave in.
A number of people gather to try to rescue the bus passengers, but are engulfed by the sinkhole as it suddenly widens.
The sinkhole was 32 feet in diameter.
