Massive Chinese sinkhole swallows an entire building complex

A huge sinkhole in China swallowed an entire building complex.

Montreal's infrastructure might be crumbling but at least the island isn't sinking like these buildings in China.

State media reports that a sinkhole swallowed the entire complex in the southern province of Guangdong. Workers were building an underground train station for the city of Guangzhou when the hole opened, according to Discovery News.

The video shows a building collapsing into a hole that measured about 30 feet in diameter. The first building fell in the afternoon local time and the second building, shown tipping over and crumbling in the video, sank later in the evening, according to the Telegraph.
