Sinkhole Eats Bus, Coughs Up Other Vehicles

A giant sinkhole in Ontario, Canada swallowed "as many as 12 cars, trucks and other vehicles, including a 40-foot trailer." All the vehicles were eventually pulled out of the sinkhole. In 1963 a similar sinkhole caused three buses to plunge into the ground, and Fire Chief Lester Cudmore said that he believes "they are still there."

FoxNews reports that the entire town "may be in danger of being gobbled up by the earth." The town, Timmins, is best-known for being the hometown of country singer Shania Twain. Townspeople speculated that Twain may have been the actual target of the giant sinkhole. Said Fire Chief Cudmore: "Yeah, that's possible. Her style is just a little too Hollywood for the folks around here. Maybe the sinkhole thought she would be in town and was just out to teach her a lesson." The singer was unavailable for comment.
