Manchester firefighters work to remove a car from a sinkhole at the intersection of North and Beech Streets in Manchester on Monday morning
Water shot 6 feet into the air and dislodged 10-pound boulders, according to Kevin Clancy of 860-862 Beech St.
"It was wild," he said. His wife heard a "boom" and he looked out the window to see a car stuck in a sink hole, water shooting into the air and large rocks being thrown uphill.
Initially, he said, the car's front tires were in the hole, but "then the whole street fell in."
The entire car sank a few feet into the hole, which stretched across one lane of North Street for about 150 feet. Police closed a portion of Beech Street and North Street, and about 30 homes on Beech Street were without water until mid-afternoon.
Police said the driver thought it was a puddle and drove through it, ending up in the sink hole.
Comment: The EU using flawed science and emotional manipulation to push for greater control in the affairs of economies posing a threat to the collapsing Eurozone economies (who, hypocritically, have quite happily been polluting and destroying the environment since the Industrial revolution started).
