Drone footage shows a massive sinkhole right beneath a residential complex in Viña del Mar, a region struck hard by storms affecting Chile in the past week.
Residents of a flood-hit neighbourhood in Chile are living in fear of their homes collapsing at any moment because of a sinkhole caused by heavy rain. Terrifying footage shows the building complex in Viña del Mar at risk of giving in as it stands precariously above a massive cavity caused by the storms blighting Chile over the past week. Pictures show the damage caused by the sinkhole as sand swept through people's homes and car parks.
More than 2,000 homes have been damaged and 60,000 have lost power. Heavy winds caused a large tree to fall on a tractor, killing one person on Wednesday. Authorities have declared a 'disaster zone' across a large stretch of the country including Santiago and seven other provinces. In the particularly hard-hit Bio Bio region south of Santiago, landslides crushed dozens of homes that had been evacuated hours earlier.
