Two buildings were destroyed after a huge sinkhole opened up in Germany.
The giant crater, which is thought to be up to 50 metres deep, appeared in Nordhausen, central Germany, on Friday.
The 30 metre-wide sinkhole dragged parts of two buildings, which were unoccupied, inside and wiring was left hanging from the parts of the buildings which had been left standing.
The pit has since filled with muddy water, with the parts of the building consumed by the sinkhole no longer visible.
Spiegel Online reported a large area was cordoned off and experts from the State Mining Authority and Thuringian State Institute for Environment and Geology visited the scene to carry out investigations.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the sinkhole is currently unknown.
