Two men boiled alive after falling in huge sinkhole in Russia

Two men were boiled alive in the city of Penza, Russia after a sinkhole opened up underneath them filled with scalding hot water, causing them to fall in the pit. The temperature of the water was 75 degrees and is said that it came from a burst pipe underneath the car park that resulted in the sinkhole to open.

Horrific accident in Russia

Frightful images were captured that showed the bodies of the two unnamed men being lifted out from the sinkhole while their car was lifted off and put to one side and the authorities stated that the car fell into the sinkhole because of the collapsing of the ground.

According to a reporter from a local media outlet, another car had driven past the same spot a few minutes before the horrific accident took place. The person noticed the accident spot starting to steam and quickly drove off in his car.

One of the residents said that it was a very frightful way for someone to die as one moment you are driving a car and the very next minute you are drowning in scalding hot water.
