Sinkhole swallows man on forklift in New Jersey warehouse
A FORKLIFT operator is lucky to be alive after an indoor sinkhole opened up and swallowed him inside a warehouse.
The man was working when 2.4-metre deep sinkhole gave way beneath him in a East Rutherford, New Jersey warehouse, reports NBC4 New York.
The man was rescued and taken to hospital with minor injuries. Rescuers said the forklift may have saved his life, preventing him from being crushed by shielding him when he fell.
The entire warehouse was evacuated after the entire floor sank into a 12-metre by 12-metre sinkhole.
