- Thread starter Twister

But social media exposure is much more important than your life, right?People just casually recording this which is happening only 50 feet away from their building.
Not only that, persons waited until 2 seconds before the sinkhole got bigger and collapsed where they were standing!People just casually recording this which is happening only 50 feet away from their building.

It's the PRC government that are really ignorant. The Shanghai estuary cannot support the runaway construction of high rises that's been going on there. It's not a surprise, this is only the beginning.
Actually this sink hole apparently comes amid the construction of a tunneled subway under construction in the area.
Hitting an unknown or mis located water main or sewer certainly can make this sort of sink hole happen.
In GTA, in York Region, in the 90's as I recall, they were digging a basement to a high rise, and hit a previously unknown natural water aquifer channel.
It took several concrete trucks loaded with hydralic cement to plug the hole water was burbling out of at a high rate.
Hydralic cement is a paste that most water movements will not penetrate.
You trowel spread it more than pour and vibrate into place like more conventional concrete design mixes.
There is a raised parking structure beside the finished building.
Because aftert the long day of basement aquifer fun the plans to deepen the basement for a lower parking level were abandon.
