Massive and Mysterious Crack in Earth Appears in Mexico

Read Time:34 Second

A huge crack has appeared in the earth in northwest Mexico and scientists don’t understand the how or why of it.  The crack is a half a mile long, Sky News reports.  A drone last week captured video footage of the 16-foot-wide, 26-foot-deep crack, which cuts across highway 26 between the coast and Hermosillo in northwest Mexico.

They say a farmer-built levee started leaking, creating an underground stream that weakened the earth and caused it to crumble.
