A terrified dad has told how he cheated death by "three seconds" after a 70ft-deep sinkhole appeared outside his front door. Harri Chadha leapt in fright when a giant cavern suddenly opened up where he had been standing moments earlier.
Dramatic pictures shows how the 15ft-wide hole swallowed up Harri's garden path and front garden outside his home in Halesowen, West Mids. The fashion photographer said: “I must have done something good somewhere because I really should be dead.
"I had just been standing on the path after closing my front door moments before the earth collapsed in on itself. Literally three to five seconds earlier and I would have been a goner for certain.
