A cab driver comes to the rescue of a young girl after she falls into a sinkhole under a pavement in the city of Xi'an in northern China. Read more...

A surveillance camera catches the moment an unsuspecting girl falls through a pavement while walking down a street in northern China.

The pavement caved in under the teenager's weight as soon as she stepped onto a section of the walkway.

What followed was a dramatic rescue attempt by a passing taxi driver. His heroic actions were also filmed by close circuit television and on mobile phones.

The passing cab driver stopped immediately at the scene and climbed into the six-metre deep pit to help the girl.

"I called out to her but she didn't respond. After I shook her a little, she came to," said Wang Wei, a taxi driver in the northern city of Xi'an.

cement was made in China

Same reason they make power tools,furniture and everything else that breaks within a year. Made in China = Landfill.

LOL. you don't know anything about cement do you? 1. drying cement doesn't break, it can only be ruined by footprints if you walk on it. 2. you cannot pour cement over nothing, it would just fill the hole. 3. those were obviously not cones but barriers to promote foot traffic and stop small vehicles from using the sidewalk.

I googled "Girl swallows" and this came up. Not what I was planning, but interesting nonetheless.

There are a lot of sexy girls on landofcams . com that get naked FOR FREE, much better than this

no if you look that was drying cement. There were cones at the edges of it that were an indicator not to go through it. So it is the girls fault.
