The giant hole of death swallowed 21 cars

CENTRALS The road surface in Sichuan province suddenly subsided in the middle of the night, causing dozens of parked cars to 'disappear'. A series of cars fell into the pit of death outside the shopping mall at Cuibai Avenue, Nghi Tan City, Sichuan Province, China on the night of August 19. Photo: SCTV. By the morning of August 20, after checking the ground near the commercial center, experts announced that there were no more concerns and that people could circulate normally. At the same time, related utility providers (including electricity, water, fiber optic cable ...) have also taken measures to prevent indirect incidents caused by death holes. In addition, the cars swallowed by the pit of death were pulled up by the crane. Initially, it was thought that the pouring rains over the past month in Sichuan could be the cause. However, the authorities said it is still conducting further investigation to find the cause. Flooding caused by this year's unusually heavy rains in China has also left more than 200 people dead or missing and caused damage worth $ 25 billion.
