Sinking feeling

Rev. Ralph Massey, left, talks to Tyler police officers after his car fell into a sinkhole in a parking lot in Tyler, Texas, Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2007. Massey says he'd pulled into a parking lot--to turn around--when the ground gave way, with no warning. The car came to rest with most of its front section in the hole, and the back end and both rear wheels elevated. Massey was able to scramble out of the hole, which ended up being about 12 feet wide and six feet deep. (AP Photo/The Courier-Times Telegraph, Kenneth Dean)
