Giant sinkhole in Chicago swallows up three cars Cars are swallowed in a Chicago sinkhole and caught on camera. Vision:Q13Fox Cars swallowed by a sinkhole in Chicago. WHAT the hell is happening in America at the moment? US folks must be wondering if they've stumbled into the apocalypse after the Boston bombings, the Texas factory explosion, and now a giant sinkhole in Chicago. This incredible footage shows the third car falling into the abyss after a street on the south side of Chicago collapsed overnight. Merko Krivokuca was driving when his truck fell into the sinkhole. Incredibly, he only sustained a few minor scratches. It continues a spate of recent sinkhole incidents, including a Florida man who was killed when a sinkhole opened beneath his bedroom. Mark Mihal was luckier. Mihal was on the fairway at the 14th hole of an Illinois golf course on March 12 when a pit - 5.5m deep and 3m wide - swallowed him. "I felt the ground start to collapse and it happened so fast that I couldn't do anything," Mr Mihal said. I reached for the ground as I was going down and it gave way, too. It seemed like I was falling for a long time. The real scary part was I didn't know when I would hit bottom and what I would land on. Friends managed to hoist Mr Mihal to safety with a rope after about 20 minutes. with News Limited Network
