More than 7,000 methane gas bubbles found in Siberia underground can explode at any time, creating giant craters.
Just a few days after the death pit appeared, affecting the lives of the people of Fukuoka City, the local government has completely overcome this problem.
The giant crater in Russia's Siberia region, discovered last year and unknown cause of formation, is up to 60 m deep and can accommodate a 25-storey building.
Aerial and underground survey results helped US experts determine the existence of an ancient impact crater beneath a town in the state of Iowa (USA).
