In a dramatic incident in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, a massive sinkhole suddenly opened up and swallowed a truck at an intersection near Tokyo, sparking a large-scale rescue operation. The video of the incident has surfaced on social media, which shows the exact moment when the truck was swallowed by the sinkhole. Authorities are racing against time to locate the truck's driver, a 74-year-old man, who has been missing since the vehicle was engulfed last Tuesday, January 28. Despite efforts to extract the truck using cranes and drones, the pit, which has now expanded to 40 meters wide, continues to grow. The cause of the collapse is believed to be corroded sewer pipes, with wastewater further weakening the ground beneath. Local authorities have evacuated hundreds of residents and warned millions about the risks of continued wastewater use. Earthquake in Japan: Tsunami Alert Lifted After Magnitude 6.7 Quake Rattles Southwestern Japan.
