Canal bursts bank into River Stour in Staffordshire

Footage from towpath between canal bank and River Stour near Stourton Staffs. Almost 2 million gallons of water entered the river, from a two mile section of canal after the sandstone gave way. The gaping hole which appeared was easily large enough to swallow up two large detached houses. Look at the people standing in the background this gives some idea of the size of the void in the embankment.
