The gaping crevice materialized in the middle of W. 82nd St. near Central Park West, about a block from the American Museum of Natural History.


“That's crazy, it's like a (meteorite) hit," said Sonny Miller, 53, of Bensonhurst, who works in the area.


“I can't believe it just caved in like that. Look at the ground, it's totally sunk. Pretty wild.

'Rome collapses' Massive 5-metre sinkhole opens up in middle of Italian city street







A MASSIVE sinkhole has opened up in the middle of a busy street in the Italian city of Rome.



The huge crater, five metres deep and three metres in diameter, appeared on Wednesday morning in the Montagnola district. 


Enzo Foschi was one of the first politicians to post a picture on social media, saying: “Luckily at that moment no one was crossing the street and no one got hurt.


“Rome collapses and mayor Raggi says everything is all right."


There was no immediate reports of injuries after the giant sinkhole opened up, according to local reports.

Bali volcano shuts down flights, sends residents scurrying to safety








Volcanic eruptions on the Indonesian resort island of Bali have prompted officials to cancel flights and move about 24,000 residents out of the way as a thick ash cloud from Mount Agung, thousands of meters high, drifts east and southeast along the archipelago.



Residents were evacuated from 224 points around the island while Lombok International Airport on Pulau Lombok, the island due east of Bali, has closed temporarily, said Ari Ahsan, spokesman for Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali.



    At Ngurah Rai, Bali's main airport, flight cancellations stranded roughly 7,000 domestic and international passengers, according to the airport's latest report.


    Indonesia's Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation raised its aviation notice from an orange alert to a red one Sunday.

      This huge crack has appeared in a stunning West Wales coast path


      'It looked like the whole cliff was about to go in'











      The area has been been closed by Ceredigion County Council and a diversion has been put in place.


      Ceredigion councillor Paul Hinge said: “A big thank you to Eifion Jones and Nigel Nicholas for promptly closing down this section of the costal path whilst they investigate and draw up plans for either repair or re-direction of the path.”
