Passengers left stranded after Earth opens up and swallows car park

Tokushima, Japan: Two cars were left teetering on the edge of a cliff after a heavy rainstorm caused the landslide at a car park in Tokushima.

A bus containing terrified passengers lies trapped halfway down a mountainside after heavy rain caused this gigantic landslide.

Amazingly, none of the passengers were killed as half a car park in Tokushima, Japan, was swallowed up.

Two cars were left dangling over the cliff's edge.

Around 500,000 people had to evacuate areas of the country yesterday as violent storms raged.

Last month, a similar incident occurred as terrifying footage emerged of the moment another Japanese town was completely obliterated as the land slipped away.

Three people died - including a 12-year-old boy - and thousands had to flee the central farming town of Nagiso after rocks and boulders swept away their homes.

Typhoon Neoguri was to blame, which was downgraded to a tropical storm, but still carried wind gusts of up to 78 mph.

The footage shows the rain battering the town until the ground can take it no longer and quickly starts to move away.

Within seconds, all that remains is a scene of complete devastation.
