The incident happened in the state of Para in northern Brazil during recent flooding. Luckily, all the passengers of the bus escaped before the vehicle was swept away, according to the BBC.
The bus became stuck on the road near the cities of Itaituba and Ruropolis, leading all the passengers to evacuate. The ground gave out soon after and the bus was carried down the nearby river.

The video comes on the heels of a bus crash in Brazil that killed 54 people earlier this month. That bus plunged nearly 400 metres down the steep slope of mountain near the city of Joinville, about 950 kilometres southwest of Rio de Janeiro.

Is that really a sinkhole, or just a breakdown of the road? That road looks very rural, as in a dirt lane scrapped across the landscape, which doesn't need too much rain to washout and breakdown along the river's edge. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to use the word 'sinkhole' in this case, overuse will damage its definition.
