In south-eastern Mexico, a sinkhole of more than 70 meters in diameter has emerged, threatening to engulf a nearby house.

The gigantic sinkhole, which is located in the municipality of Juan C Bonilla in the state of Puebla, began as a five-meter hole and has progressively developed to its current size.

Authorities from both the state and the federal government have been called in to help figure out what caused it to happen and what needs to be done to protect the local population.
