Tourist disappears into large sinkhole while walking on street - shocking!
Next up, let's take a look at a truly terrifying event that occurred in Malaysia. It was a normal day for a tourist, strolling through the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur. However, in a shocking turn of events, the pavement beneath her feet suddenly gave way, sending her plummeting nearly 30 feet into an unexpected sinkhole.

The victim, a 48-year-old Indian woman, has not been seen since the incident on Friday. Despite the efforts of rescuers who cordoned off the collapsed area and used an excavator to clear debris, there has been no sign of her. The police are now speculating that she may have been swept away by an underground water current.

When asked about the woman's condition and the cause of the incident, local police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman declined to comment. However, head of the Kuala Lumpur police, Rusdi Mohamad Isa, revealed that there was a strong water flow underground, which could have potentially carried the woman away. He also mentioned that the search for her is a delicate operation due to the involvement of public infrastructure.

The fire and rescue teams even had to use a crane to dig into the sinkhole in hopes of finding the missing woman. Unfortunately, their efforts have been unsuccessful so far. As they continue their search, authorities are taking precautions to ensure the safety of those in the area. For example, they have advised businesses to temporarily close for safety reasons, as tampering with pipes or drains could cause flooding.

Interestingly, this is not the first time a soil slip has been reported in the same location where the sinkhole appeared. However, it had been previously fixed. The police are also investigating if any other factors may have contributed to the incident. In the meantime, the victim's loved ones, who were visiting Malaysia for a vacation, are anxiously waiting for answers and praying for her safe return.
