[A 30ft-deep sinkhole has opened
up and swallowed a family's car
in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
The hole, which is 15ft in diameter,
opened up in the driveway of a
house in the Walter's Ash
area on Sunday morning.
No one was inside the
Volkswagen Lupo,
which was parked on the driveway
when the ground gave way.]

[The wet weather in December and
January may have caused the hole,
at the house by eroding earth used
to fill in the old clay, stone and chalk pits]

That's really worrying, that's right beside their house! Wouldn't fancy living there ever again if I was in that family!

because the ground could give out under your feet at any time? yea it's freaky. Try living in California where everyone keeps telling you that you're "due for the BIG ONE"!

It's unnerving.
