Coincidentally to someone bringing one up earlier in another thread, there is one forming under a street in Santiago that I have seen. It is at the corner of Arturo Grullon and Ave. Metropolitana across the street from where HB's house is. There are already two holes in the pavement bigger than manholes and you can see from across the street that the ground is falling away from under the street. I don't know who to tell to get this fixed before the business on the corner falls into the hole or something.

It doesn't take much. I saw a huge hole formed because a big truck had broken a water main. It's the ones that build up over time that can be really huge. If you get a big rock above or below a pipe it can eventually break it.

It's just a preliminary exploration for the Santiago /Santo Domingo Metro with a hub across the street from the powerful, well respected HB. :laugh:

Sent a 911 to my son and he says that CORAASAN is working on it now. It is on 7th Street (Dr. Grullon) and near the hovel...but you can still stop in next week for coffee after Wednesday....
