Residents in a small town in Germany got a scare when a giant, crater-like sinkhole opened up in the middle of a subdivision overnight.

The gaping hole amid Schmalkalden’s manicured lawns is nearly 65 feet deep and 100 feet in diameter. Amazingly, no one was hurt, though 25 people were evacuated when the earth gave way Monday.
