Giant intersection is eaten up by a enormous sinkhole

An immense sinkhole ate a whole crossing point in Fukuoka, Japan yesterday morning, and one especially stressed fella in an adjacent office building got the catastrophe on camera.

How about we look again at how tremendously terrible that sinkhole looked before its crumple:

This sinkhole opened up without warning by the site of some underground extension work for an adjacent tram station, as CNN reports. The city government has accepted the fault for the sinkhole, saying their development work thought little of the quality of the zone, as The Asahi Shimbun reports.

The city government has told the media that it is presently filling the sinkhole with “unique soil” and would like to reestablish movement to the downtown Hakata region by one week from now, as per The Japan Times.

As should be obvious in the picture above from yesterday, that is sewage filling the open gap.

It wound up almost 100 feet around and about half as deep.
