I was here last year and have pictures up close of some of these very cars sitting down in the hole now.



RAW VIDEOS:

Security camera catches the ground caving in, consuming two cars (white striped C6 is the 1,500,000): http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0LzlBY7b_g

News footage plus a droid camera. I can't see 8 cars: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=92Yg1VKD8wI

Lol of all places on the whole planet, my favorite place has to take the blow.

This is really hilarious. A sinkhole opens up somewhere and consequently it's right under some of the most expensive cars in the world. Probability kicked their ass.
