This was a terrifying moment when a couple fell down a sink hole that appeared without warning as they walked along a pavement in South Korea.
The man and woman were seen just stepping off a bus at a transport hub in the capital Seoul when the ground beneath their feet gave way.
CCTV then shows the unidentified pair disappearing from view after being swallowed up by the sink hole.
Emergency crews, including firemen, were called to the scene and pulled the couple to safety.
According to ITV, the sink hole appeared close to a building site where a pair of 39-storey apartment blocks are being constructed.
It reports that an investigation has been launched by both Seoul Metropolitan City officials and the Korean Geotechnical Society to establish why the hole appeared.
The pavement has been cordoned off while experts examine the area.
Despite their horrifying ordeal, the couple involved escaped with minor injuries and were taken to hospital for observation.
