Imagine standing on the road one day and having a sinkhole swallow you whole. Or imagine sitting in your house and having a giant sinkhole vaporise your entire building. That’s what happened in China. Two buildings in Guangzhou, China, tumbled straight into a giant sinkhole as the ground below them simply disappeared. Luckily, no one was hurt (though 300 residents had to be evacuated and some of them just lost their homes) as construction workers noticed the ground was already seeping in.
The sinkhole was measured to be about 30 feet deep and 1,000-3,200 square feet across. According to reports, the sinkhole popped up near a construction site for a subway. Impressively, China has already filled the hole:

I’m not sure it’s going to be 1,000 to 3,200sqft across….
If I was guessing I’d say it looks more like 650square feet to me.
across? maybe typo? meant to be surface area
however,
You can tell it is about 50+ feet in each direction which makes it min 2500sqrft measures are correct
Holy Sink!
Sink holes are crazy. http://i.huffpost.com/gen/170595/GUATEMALA-SINKHOLE.jpg
Maybe you can also write a first hand account of the sink hole which seems to have opened beneath Giz’s talent-pool over the last few months.
