Sinkhole opens up beneath South Korean pedestrians

Local bus CCTV has caught the moment a sinkhole opened up in a pavement beneath two South Korean pedestrians.

Emergency workers rescued the man and woman, who were then taken to a nearby hospital in Seoul with minor injuries.

City officials and the Korean Geotechnical Society are looking into the cause of the sinkhole.

Dammit, that punchline should be "...are looking into it". Have they no sense of comedy history?

You can see that area of the pavement looks a bit strange before they step on it, but I doubt I'd have thought "I'll avoid that" if I had been there.
