A sinkhole which is about 50 feet wide and 600 feet long, opened up in Meridian, Mississippi, USA.
The causes of the phenomenon are still unknown.
The huge cave-in opened up in an IHOP parking and shallowed 15 cars causing terror!
Local authorities blocked the area in order to keep people away because nobody knows the progress of the phenomenon.
Meridian Fire Department Chief Battalion Wayne Cook said "Upon arrival, we found multiple vehicles in the ditch. At this time, we are trying to stabilize this and keep everyone away."
Meridian Public Safety Director Buck Roberts said ''he collapse was not technically a sinkhole, which is usually the result of an underground water aquifer that dries and leaves a void in the ground. You can call it what you want, a cave-in or whatever, but it is not a sinkhole,"
Engineers and contractors are currently studying the site.
Some people believe that the phenomenon is caused by a collapse of a subterranean cave.
