Video | Giant sinkhole threatens Indonesian village

A 100-metre-deep sinkhole has slowly swallowed part of a village in northwestern Indonesia. Local farmers are struggling to expand their farmland to escape the advancing crater.

Staff from the state electricity company fear the sinkhole will reach a high-voltage transmission tower. Authorities say the affected area has expanded from about 27,000 square metres to 30,000 square metres (291,000 to 323,000 square feet).
