Hong Kong sinkhole: pedestrian suddenly falls into terrifying, 16-foot deep sinkhole
- 9 years ago
When you think of Hong Kong, you generally think of a hustling, bustling international city, right? I mean, you don’t think of sinkholes, do you?
Well, last week a Hong Kong man, named Mr. Man, found a sinkhole in the middle of Wanchai, one of Hong Kong’s busier districts.
Mr. Man says he was just strolling along the sidewalk when the pavement gave way beneath his feet and he tumbled down into a nearly 16 ½ foot deep pitch black hole.
Witnesses called 911 and emergency services were able to pull Mr. Man out of the sinkhole after about 10 minutes. He was rushed to the hospital with a mild concussion and several fractures, but his condition is stable.
The owner of the restaurant next to where Mr. Man fell into the sinkhole said that last week there had been construction to install a new water pipeline beneath the street.
Experts speculate that the moisture from the water pipe may have sunk into the soil and caused part of the loose dirt to sink. Mr. Man just had the unlucky chance to be the one who found the sinkhole.
A construction crew arrived on site that evening and filled the sinkhole.
