Enough to cause a dent and scratch your rims should you drive into it =P

I was wondering why there was so much traffic around there

Mugen EvOlutioN 12-12-2010 08:58 PM

Total of their hourly rate aint cheap.

damn i love being a city worker hahaha

but to what soundy posted, a 12" water main will EASILY cause that sink hole if the main is cracked...the ammount of water that comes out of a 12" main is amazing...it'll push all the dirt away and eventually the road just gives way and drops..ive seen it a hundred times..

Drove by it before it became a friggin hole. There was pylons around the area I thought some kids were playing a joke. Looked fine @ 11AM then this happens.

Kent Ave is gonna be a gong show.

Fat guys are usually fatter than fat girls, make sure to throw them in as well so the hole fills up faster :D
