A huge pit appears out of nowhere in a village of western China's Sichuan province at midnight on Dec. 12, devouring 11 houses but luckily leaving no casualties. The 60-meter long, 40-meter wide and 30-meter deep pit at present continues to grow. Local villagers have been hearing low vibrating sounds underneath the earth's surface for the past twenty days. Residents have all been evacuated and the cause for the anomaly is under investigation. (Source: China.org.cn/Newssc.org) |
