SURABAYA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): A giant sinkhole has appeared in the middle of a busy road in Surabaya, East Java, on Tuesday night, swallowing part of the four-lane Jl. Foto perbandingan antara sebelum dan setelah amblesnya Jalan Raya Gubeng Surabaya ini makin menunjukkan bahwa dinding galian tidak kuat menahan beban dinding di bagian dekat jalan. Surabaya Deputy Mayor Wisnu Sakti Buana said the sinkhole was allegedly related to the construction of a parking basement at Siloam Hospital. Surabaya Development Planning Agency head Eri Cahyadi concurred, saying the incident was purely caused by an error in the project. However, the search and rescue team and Surabaya Fire Service are still conducting an investigating and searching for possible victims.
