Huge sinkhole threatens Russian habitations

Buy video

A dramatic video has emerged of a sinkhole forming in the city of Solikamskiy, Russia.

The footage, shot earlier this year by a resident, captures images of the huge hole in the ground only a few meters away from houses.

According to the filmer the 100 meter deep sinkhole formed after a Sylvinite ore colliery was flooded in November 2014.

According to the filmer - locals now fear that a neighbouring pit, which is connected to the collapsed one, will get flooded too and cave in right under their houses.

Locals, including the filmer, think that the Russian authorities are hiding the risks of sinkholes in the region and allegedly say that the pit is stable and does not increase - despite the videos.
