WOAH! Probably an unusualy large concentration of extra-terrestrial gas that went foomp! Eh? Static electricity will do that. That's why you should always ground yourself before entering areas with unusually large concentrations of extra-terrestrial gases.

Looks like a construction flaw or a sinkhole. Note the lack of vertical support.
