A giant ‘sinkhole’ about 50-feet wide opened up in an IHOP parking lot in Mississippi over the weekend, swallowing at least 14 vehicles, officials said.
At about 7:15 p.m. CT Saturday night, “we received a call of vehicles going through the pavement at the IHOP in Meridian,” Patrol Lieutenant Rita Jack with Meridian Police told NBC News.
“When we arrived on scene, 14 to 15 vehicles that we could see had fallen roughly 30 feet into the ground. We expect that there may be more and that they may fall further into the ground because there is only mud underneath.”
Rain in the forecast could hamper the recovery effort, but officials expected to start moving cars within three to five days.

“The sinkhole is huge,” said Jack. “If you imagine a football field cut in half, it is every bit of 50 feet wide and about 100 – 125 feet wide. We are talking 14 to 15 vehicles. It is very scary. We are so fortunate that no injuries were sustained. We are gonna keep it under observation until we know that it is clear and safe.”

Between fracking and DUMB tunnels everywhere… who knows?
IHOP slogan.. “Come hungry leave happy”.
Well they came hungry.. the happy part was jacked up though.
Must have been blueberry pancake special day.
Dude..where’s my car?
Looks to be a drain pipe that collapsed
Pancakes are somewhat like doughnuts without the hole. Hopefully, a couple cruisers went down in the mix.
And Nibiru has come close enough to our sun to produce gaseous “wings” that can be viewed with various filters from a recent photo taken from an airplane over Costa Rica.
Looks like the drain pipe collapsed. This shouldn’t count as a ‘sink hole”.
Thank you for this I can not get this news provider to touch it and its real really really real. I have known for a long time.
