At least six people killed and 16 injured after city bus crashes through the road and into a sinkhole in China.
Footage aired by Chinese state TV shows the rear of the bus poking out of the sinkhole seconds after it fell through. It also shows pedestrians trying to help others escape the sinkhole falling into it themselves as the ground beneath them breaks away while others flee.
A lamp-post is then seen sinking further into the hole beside the bus and the flash of an explosion is seen, followed by smoke billowing from the hole.Huge sinkhole swallows cars in Rome The hole reached almost 10 meters in diameter and a rescue effort involving almost 1,000 emergency responders and 30 vehicles is underway at the site, state media reported.
Subsequent footage shows rescuers perched precariously between the edge of the sinkhole and a nearby bus stop, as they pull someone from the hole.Sinkholes are not uncommon in China and are often blamed on the extensive construction that has come with its rapid economic development in recent years.
