In March 2013 a man living peacefully in his Florida home disappeared out of the blue swallowed by a sinkhole. Yes! The sleeping man just disappeared! This time it was turn of some unsuspecting trees. The group of trees was sucked up by a sinkhole in Louisiana, a state located in the southern region of The United States of America. The sinkhole was discovered very recently in August 2012 about 40 miles south of Baton Rouge in Assumption Parish.

Take a look at this video to see yourself how it actually happened.
