A massive sinkhole swallows a 5-LANE road in Japan: 30ft deep void causes widespread chaos



  • Parts of a main street collapsed in the heart of Fukuoka in southern Japan, creating a massive sinkhole
  • The sinkhole, more than half the size of an Olympic pool, appeared in the middle of the business district 
  • Sinkholes form in soluble rocks like limestone and are caused by the passage of weakly acidic rainwater
  • City officials said it was likely linked to ongoing subway construction nearby, but this is under investigation

The cause of the collapse is under investigation, Fukuoka officials said, but they linked it to ongoing subway construction nearby.
