A sinkhole suddenly opened under the pavement at a bus stop in Heilongjiang, China and five people fell into it.
China's Xinhua news on Wednesday posted a tweet with CCTV footage of the pavement giving way, which shows one person visible near the entrance, barely clinging on to an underground cable.
