Sinkholes

A truck is hauled from a hole 32 feet deep and 16 feet wide on Via dei Colli Portuensi in Rome.
A truck is hauled from a hole 32 feet deep and 16 feet wide on Via dei Colli Portuensi in Rome.
The chasm opened as a heavy truck was driving along the road. The driver was able to get out and was unhurt.
In addition, a car that was parked on the side of the road partly sank and had to be recovered.
The removal operation was complex because the crews needed to conduct safety checks on the asphalt before the road was reopened to traffic.
Huge Dorset Jurassic Coast rockfall revealed in drone footage
The rockfall happened just west of the south coast seaside town of Weymouth and Dorset council said more cliff was expected to be lost, with people being urged to stay away from the area. Parts of the coastal path were cordoned off.
A spokesperson for the council said: "Further movement is expected with fresh cracks affecting the fence line but not the coast path. We will monitor over the next few weeks to ensure that any further movement does not affect access.
"Now the ground is drying out, there is the possibility of more slips and falls and they can happen very quickly. For your safety, keep clear of tops and bases of cliffs when out and about."
Footage filmed by eyewitnesses shows the cars slowly falling into the hole.
According to the press office of the Fuel and Energy Complex, the reason behind the accident was a technological malfunction that caused a burst of the main pipeline.
The press service also added that reconstruction of the road is currently undergoing.
European rail freight is heavily impacted by the landslide, as it disrupts traffic though Europe's most heavily used freight line: the Rhine-Alpine corridor. According to reports from the site, freight traffic diverts through the left bank of the Rhine using the Bingen route. However, this is not enough since long-distance trains are excluded from this diversion, a situation that also affects the bustling Genoa-Rotterdam route.
Comment: It's likely that this landslide is correlated with the extreme flooding and drought that Europe has seen in recent times, as well as being part of an overall uptick in geologic and seismic events that's also seems to be correlated with the rise in landslides and sinkholes.
However, it's particularly concerning that Europe's busiest freight line is now out of service, because, over in Egypt, the Suez Canal, which is a critical shipping lane for the distribution of goods is also out of service due to a ship becoming stuck:

On Thursday 11 March 2021, a large landslide occurred on the banks of an abandoned and flooded open case coal mine site at Knappensee in eastern Germany [...]This bank had been undergoing work recently and was a site with known geotechnical problems. The unslipped areas in the image above have little or no vegetation, suggesting engineering works since the last growing season. [...]

The sinkhole, which measured several metres in diameter, took up part of the pavement and the road, by the old Quemadero bridge and the football field, in the Spanish enclave city in North Africa.
The leader of the local Caballas Coalition party, Mohamed Ali, tweeted about the sinkhole, which left residents in the area shocked over how dangerous it could have proved.
The area was cordoned off and barriers were placed around the sinkhole.

This aerial photo shows a sinkhole in the village of Mececani, central Croatia, Thursday, March 4, 2021.
A central Croatian region about 40 kilometers (25 miles) southwest of the capital, Zagreb, is pocked with round holes of all sizes, which appeared after December's 6.4-magnitude quake that killed seven people and caused widespread destruction.
Scientists have been flocking to Mecencani and other villages in the sparsely-inhabited region for observation and study.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) assistant director of operations Hafisham Mohd Noor said in the incident at about 6.50 pm, there was a 10m-deep fissure over 50,000 sq m of land near Jalan PKPS in Kampung Bestari Jaya near here.
"The JBPM received an emergency call at about 6.51 pm and seven firemen were rushed to the scene.
"Based on preliminary information, Selangor JBPM was told that there was a victim buried in the sediment, however after doing a headcount of workers at two nearby premises, none of the victims were found missing or buried," he said in a statement here yesterday.
Comment: It's likely that the rockfall is related to the rise in various and unusual sinkholes and landslides being reported all over the world:
