Default 1km wide sinkhole kills 4 in PQ
Stunning images from this bizarre, yet tragic event that killed a family of 4:



Before:


After:



Take note of the truck here - The landslide, which occurred about 7:30 p.m. Monday evening, also engulfed a pickup truck. It took the driver, who suffered a concussion, over an hour to climb and crawl over the heaved piles of earth, to the door of a nearby farmhouse, Yves de Bellefeuille, the mayor of Saint-Jude, told reporters Tuesday.



Maybe there's something to this 2012 thing afterall....

I heard on the news that they were watching the Habs game.

Yeesh, what an awful thing.

They also kept calling it a "landslide".

How do they know they were watching the habs game, was the TV still on?, seems a little strange to me.
