A sinkhole swallowed 25 tons of fish in just one night

A Chinese farmer from the city of BASA in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region have experienced an unpleasant surprise on Tuesday morning. Tens of thousands of fish, which he cultivated in a special pond vanished! Complete disappearance of 25 tons of fish occurred in just one night.

According to local media, the helpless farmer by the name of young associates a loss with a karst funnel, which opened into a pond. "First, I noticed that the water level in my pond fell at 4 am, when I went around the farm — told the young. At 9 am most of the water and all the fish disappeared, flowed into the sinkhole".

"As if fish had wings, and she flew away" — he complains.

Sinkholes are common in China. In August last year, the sinkhole formed suddenly near the bus station in Heilongjiang province and swallowed up five pedestrians. The width of the funnel was 10 sq m, depth — 2 meters. People passing by rescued the victims from the pit, and then sent them to the hospital.
