HERE one minute, gone the next.
It's not every day you get swallowed by a sinkhole, but for a couple in Seoul, South Korea it was their shock reality.
CCTV footage of the unidentified pair being swallowed by the earth's surface has emerged showing the moment they disappear three metres deep.
The man and woman had just stepped off a bus when the earth gave way and took them whole.
Fearing the worst, terrified onlookers are seen gazing into the gaping hole and running for their lives.
Thankfully the couple escaped with only minor injuries and have found their feet once again after they were rescued by firefighters.
Media reports suggest the sinkhole was next to a site where two 39-storey blocks are under construction.

An investigation into the cause of the collapse is underway but sinkholes are generally the result of land erosion or by the gradual eradication of rock in the earth's surface.
"It is still not known whether this was the immediate cause of the ground sinking," Cho Seong-ha, an official at the Korean Geotechnical Society, told the International Business Times.
"We are planning to analyse the possibility through investigation. We are also planning to figure out other causes for the sinking by looking at various construction records and by investigating the site."
This isn't the first sinkhole to open up beneath unsuspecting victims. Oh no ...
