A terrifying video made the rounds online this week, showing a massive sinkhole opening up in the middle of a Seoul roadway and fatally swallowing an unlucky motorcyclist.
That white car barely got out alive!
After the initial collapse, cars on the other side of the road were in danger (why did people keep driving past this thing??) as the hole expanded.

According to a report from The New York Post, the motorcyclist's body was eventually recovered.
The sinkhole, estimated to be around 65 feet wide and 65 feet deep, opened up at an intersection in the Myeongil-dong neighborhood in eastern Seoul on Monday afternoon, swallowing the victim and injuring a woman whose van was passing over the area, officials told the Associated Press.
The motorcyclist, identified as a man in his 30s, was found before noon on Tuesday, emergency officer Kim Chang Seob announced during a televised briefing.
One of the factors that likely contributed to the man's death, as well as the difficulty in finding his body, was the water main break that happened moments after the initial collapse:
As of Tuesday, authorities said the cause of the sinkhole remained under investigation.
In case you didn't have enough nightmare fuel.
