Water Main Break causes Sinkhole, damages cars on Holtzclaw

http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/30638497/sinkhole-damages-cars-on-holtclaw

The sinkhole on North Holtzclaw was apparently caused by an underground water main break, according to a Chattanooga public works employee. Tennessee American Water has been notified and has crews on the scene. The workers must first turn off the water to that main, drain the water from the hole and then dig around it to determine if it is indeed a water main break.

The hole opened up Tuesday morning in the 600 block of North Holtzclaw Avenue.

The hole damaged several vehicles that apparently didn’t see it in time, flattening tires and damaging wheels.

"You didn't know what you were getting into until you fell into the hole," said Tina Morgan who hit it driving to work. " Just thought it was a puddle and then BAM. Our tires busted, the rims busted."

The hole, which filled with water from the recent heavy rains, was hidden and looked much like a puddle.

"There were cars beside me so I couldn't swerve to get out of the way, I had to go through it," said Daniel Kilts, another affected driver. "You couldn't see anything cause the water was so smooth."

City road crews were able to mark the hole with barricades to prevent additional vehicle damage.

Motorists are advised to seek an alternate route if possible.

Now THAT'S a serious leak! Dramatic moment massive water column bursts from broken pipe and shoots 30 feet high in Chinese city

• The accident happened in Zhengzhou city, central China's Henan Province
• Witnesses said the tonnes of water gushing out was as strong as a tsunami
• Hitting high-voltage electricity lines above causing blackouts in the area

A video has emerged online showing a burst pipe launching tonnes of water into the air at a three-way intersection in Zhengzhou city, central China's Henan Province.

The accident happened last month near a construction site. Witnesses said the flow of water was as strong as a tsunami which left many bare-footed pedestrians were fleeing for their lives, reports The People’s Daily Online. 

When the pipe burst, the water flew 30 feet high, hitting high-voltage electricity lines above. And below, a fast flowing river instantly formed on the road, holding up the traffic. 

Moment towering fountain of water gushes over city in China

The water gushed so high into the sky it reached high-voltage power lines causing blackouts in the city

The footage of the burst pipe shows the full force of the tonnes of water that flowed out onto the street

Roads surrounding the construction site were completely damaged after the pipe burst in Zhengzhou city

An official from the Zhengzhou Municipal Corporation said the pipe burst at 8am on October 29. 

In the 50-second amateur video filmed from a building above, the water can be seen gushing into the air from a small road. 

It goes so high, way beyond the rooftops. 

Some people can be seen standing nearby away from danger. It’s a miracle no one was harmed at the time the pipe burst. 

The whole area around the damaged pipe was affected, water was spewing out for an hour before engineers managed to stop the flow.
