The footage from this past Saturday showed commuters standing or walking when the hole suddenly opened up. Three people can be seen falling straight into the hole, one woman clinging to pipes just underneath the sidewalk and another standing on the edge falling sideways into the hole.
The 10-feet-deep sinkhole also consumed the bus sign, a local station, Heilongjiang Television, reported, adding that bystanders immediately rushed to pull the five victims out and call emergency services.
