Gigantic 100-meter large sinkhole near Puebla and highway collapse in Michoacan – Earth is tearing apart in Mexico (videos and pictures)

A giant sinkhole has opened up in fields near the municipality of Santa María Zacatepec, Mexico. The now 100-meter-large (328 feet) and 20-meter-deep (66 feet) crater continues growing, alarming residents living in the area.

According to the first investigations, the large doline was caused by a geological fault – fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock.

Officials describe the hole in the ground as “a matter of enormous risk.”

The crater began forming last Saturday. Being then no more than 5 meters (16 feet) in diameter, it grew to a freaking 60 meters (197 feet) in 24 hours. Now it is measuring a whopping 100 meters (328 feet) and still expanding…

It is still unknown what fracturated the soil. Since heavy agriculture is taking place in this rural area near Puebla, the fissure may have been triggered by water extraction.

Meanwhile, a 500-meter (1640 feet) security fence has been installed around the sinkhole to prevent any death and injuries.
