Time-Lapse Video Shows Japanese City Repairing 100-Foot Sinkhole in Just 6 Days

ABC News   17 November 2016   Japan   Asia  

Construction crews recently repaired a 100-foot sinkhole in the Japanese city of Fukuoka in just six days, and the time-lapse video of the repair appears to be soothing the souls of everyone who has been faced with interminable construction projects.

A ruptured water main caused the massive sinkhole to open up on a 5-lane road near the main Hakata railway station last Tuesday, Nov. 8, according to ABC News partner NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation.

The giant crevice caused power outages, prompted the evacuation of nearby buildings and disrupted traffic in the city, which is home to about 1.5 million people in southwestern Japan.
