Accelerated Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 LMAO! What the f*** happened? In the middle of the road....the asphalt must have broken and sunk....if thats the case she could sue the local authorities, coz their not meant to build on such volatile surfaces - thats what happens when your a son of a Builder/Structural Engineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 The other possibility could be, that the road base wasnt compacted (from the photoes I cant even see the road base underneath where the asphalt has left the ground). The ground underneath the roadbase must also be compacted, so that there is no water flowing at the surface. Either way the local auhtorities are liable...

Sip Posted September 24, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 I think it is what they call a "sink hole" here in the US. Water just washes away the underside until the road colapses in it. The scarey thing is that one would probably have no idea how deep it is because you just don't expect something like that in the middle of the road!! I am having trouble figuring out exactly where that took place ... seems like a European country ... the site is Czech (.cz) but not sure. The license plate may be the best clue.

Accelerated Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 You are right about it being Czech. the license plate is European and there is a Soviet Era car in the background (sky color) I gotto show this to my dad, he'll laugh his pants off...
