WATCH: Horrific Moment Woman SWALLOWED UP By Sink Hole


This seems like it couldn’t possibly be real, but sadly it is.

A tourist in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was walking down the street when suddenly a massive sink hole opened up and swallowed her whole.

Reports say she immediately fell 26 feet and was likely “swept away” by running water underneath.

Rescue crews immediately jumped in but it does not appear she will be found alive.

The AP reports the following details:

The search for an Indian tourist who was swallowed by a sinkhole in Malaysia’s capital entered a seventh day Thursday, with the operation hampered by strong undercurrent flows and worries about soil instability after a second sinkhole emerged nearby.

Vijaya Lakshmi Gali, 48, was walking along a road in the Dang Wangi area in Kuala Lumpur on Aug. 23 when the pavement beneath her suddenly collapsed. She plunged into the 8-meter-deep (26-foot-deep) sinkhole and disappeared.

Rescuers have found no trace of her so far except for her slippers. The search operation has involved tracker dogs, remote cameras and ground-penetrating radar. Searchers have flushed portions of the underground drainage system using high-pressure water jets and excavators to remove debris.

What a horrible way to go.

One minute you’re just walking down the street and the next minute you’ve fallen 26 feet into darkness and you’re whisked away in rushing underground water.

Absolutely awful.
