Pond Sinkhole in China Swallows 25 Tons of Fish

A pond in China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region sprang a sinkhole that cost a local fish farmer some 25 tons of fish.

According to the people.cn, it’s not clear what caused the sinkhole to open, but villagers suspect activity at a nearby quarry may have had some adverse effect on the body of water.

Ultimately, the pond drained almost completely, according to the video below, from New China TV. The farmer estimates the financial loss from the swallowed fish to be more than US $75,000.
