A sinkhole opened up in the middle of a street in Naples, Italy early Sunday morning.
Officials say the sinkhole started off as a depression in the road and is most likely caused by a broken sewer.
'It was 5 this morning when I heard a huge thud. I looked out and saw the road collapse and swallow a car,' a woman who lives in a neighboring apartment told Il Mattino.
None of the surrounding buildings showed sign of damage, but nonetheless the four condominiums surrounding the crater were evacuated on Sunday with city officials scrambling to find accommodations for the 380 displaced locals.
'We are in contact with hotel facilities in the area in order to accommodate everyone and try to reduce as far as possible, the inconvenience to citizens,' an official said.
David Lezzi, the operations manager of the site, said crews will first figure out the extent of the hole before trying to stabilize it with concrete.
Reports did not say when residents might be able to return to their homes. The area has been cordoned off.
Engineers plan to stabilize the sinkhole by filling it with concrete
'most likely caused by a broken sewer'.... ? Hmm, so is there a broken sewer there or not? Otherwise, given the usual garbage problem in the city, this could be a godsend for that neighborhood, and perhaps if god continues to show them such love, there will be no more such problems, though other problems might come to the forefront instead... maybe, maybe not, could be just a warning to sell your house and move out of town.
