В одном из крупнейших мегаполисов Японии – городе Фукуока на острове Кюсю ранним утром 8 ноября образовалась гигантская воронка шириной около 30 метров и глубиной около 15 метров.
Как сообщает ВВС, обвал начался с двух небольших отверстий, которые расширялись, пока не образовали огромную яму. В результате в районе аварии нарушено транспортное сообщение, отключена канализация и газопровод, прекращена подача электричества. Пострадавших нет.
По информации местных властей, провал грунта может быть следствием работ по строительству новой станции метрополитена.
