Massive sinkhole cracks open farmland in Mexico
A massive sinkhole that cracked open farmland in Santa Maria Zacatepec was captured on video on Sunday in Puebla State, Mexico. The hole was reported by locals on Saturday with a diameter of 60 m wide and 15 m deep, according to the National Defense Ministry, prompting residents and local farmers to avoid the area. Local activists and nonprofit civil associations speculated that the cause of the sinking may be the overexploitation of aquifers in the area by the industrial parks working in the state.
