Rainbow Beach, Queensland: the sinkhole looks like a natural bay | Photo: Kieren Hudson

A giant sinkhole the size of a football field opened up in Rainbow Beach, Queensland, Australia. The deep blue hole now looks like a natural bay.

Campers at MV Beagle Campground on Inskip Point heard a noise like a storm, and up to 140 people were forced to run away, as the spot started swallowing vehicles and large objects in the surroundings.

The sinkhole is 150 meters wide (493 feet) and three meters deep (10 feet). It engulfed a caravan, a car, a camping trailer, and tents. Some are lucky to have escaped with their lives, as the event only took three minutes unfold.
