In some anime series, we usually see awesome characters with amazing superpowers like creating a huge craters or breaking the ground to let their enemies fall into a deep hole.

Sounds cool? Yes, only on the anime series. But in real life, those kind of events can make a huge damage and sometimes costs some lives near the affected area.

Just like this video uploaded by RT on YouTube, buildings started to disappear because of the giant sinkhole that appeared under it, the disaster occured in a city in China.

The houses vanished in an instant when the ground where they are built suddenly collapsed due to the huge sinkhole beneath it. Cut electric cables, leaking water lines, metal rods and some debris hanging on the other side of the wall were all left when the dust disappeared.

The debris, water pipes, electric wirings and other parts of the houses.
