Giant sinkhole in Japan restored in one week!

[hatcheckgirl]

Those Japanese are real quick at fixing things, aren't they? This sinkhole appeared a week ago in downtown  Fukuoka, near a busy subway.  It was busily repaired and has reopened within a week.  The mayor released a statement apologising for the "great trouble" the sinkhole had caused.  He expressed his gratitude to workers for their efforts completing the restoration work "promptly with safety first".  "From now on I will do my utmost to investigate the cause and compensate for the damage," the statement said.  The cause of the collapse in the city's Hakata district had been linked to ongoing subway construction nearby.

Had a sinkhole on a road half that size by me that took six months to fill.

Wow! You've known the news?
I live in Fukuoka, so I was really surprised to hear this news.
That's really amazing they restored the road so quickly.

Hee Hee, I have my ears out for all news about Japan, Aya!

So, did you see it for yourself? I was wondering if anyone was affected by driving into the hole that appeared.

No, I just watched it on TV.
Hakata is a little far from here...

Fortunately, no drivers were there when the subsidence happened.
Only five minutes before, an engineer working for construction of the subway warned the accident and the city closed the road.
So nobody was affected by that.
I felt relieved to hear the news.
