In the aftermath of the most powerful earthquake to shake the country in a century, a startling and unsettling phenomenon unfolded in a rural area on the outskirts of Morocco’s city of El Jadida. A deep and mysterious pit suddenly materialized, sending shockwaves of bewilderment and fear rippling through the local population.
The account of this enigmatic occurrence was documented by the Moroccan newspaper “Hespress” in a video report.
The owner of the land in the “Oulad Frej” region, where the pit manifested, shared his astonishment at the unexpected event, which unfolded on the morning of Thursday, September 28th.
He went on to reveal that this newly formed chasm boasted an astounding depth of 60 meters and a width exceeding 20 meters.
Alarmed by the potential danger it posed to the residents of the area, prompt action was taken. The local authorities and security forces were promptly notified of the mysterious pit’s emergence. In response, officials descended upon the scene, taking swift measures to cordon it off, ensuring that the area remained secure and inaccessible to the public.
It was deemed necessary to await the results of thorough investigations before any further steps could be taken.
