In the Nizhny Novgorod region crater with a depth of 50 meters

In the Nizhny Novgorod region in the Shatkovsky district, July 24, on the field formed a huge sinkhole.

In the Internet appeared the video from the drone, which demonstrates its scale — 32 metres in diameter and 50 meters deep. Experts said that the funnel is stable, its size does not change.

Currently, experts continue to investigate the failure, the exact cause of its formation is still unknown, however, as a rule, they occur due to the fact that the soil is eroded by groundwater.

According to the head of Shatkovsky district of Maxim Maravovo, a funnel appeared on a farmer's field about 2 km from the village Aladino. As the head of the "Dzerzhinsk karst laboratory" Mikhail Leonenko, the cause of its occurrence is hardly connected with the anthropogenic factor, because it causes landslides only in cities where there are intakes. Basically, sinkholes appear due to natural causes, and Nizhny Novgorod oblast subjected to karst phenomena. To eliminate such collapses are very costly from technical and financial points of view, therefore, likely that it's just wall to protect people and animals.
