Turkey’s breadbasket is quite literally falling in on itself. In the Konya Plain, the country’s key wheat-growing region, hundreds of gaping sinkholes have torn through once-continuous fields, turning farmland into a pockmarked danger zone. Drone visuals from the area capture an eerie landscape: at least 684 large craters now scar the plateau, some stretching roughly 30 metres across and plunging dozens of metres down. What was fertile soil is now ringed by cracked earth and abandoned crops, with farmers forced to steer tractors around jagged voids where wheat once stood. Sinkhole in Bangkok: Traffic Disrupted As Massive 50-Metre-Deep Sinkhole Swallows Part of Samsen Road Near Wachira Hospital in Thailand; Videos Surface.
