A huge sinkhole measuring 98 square feet has opened up on a road in Bangkok, Thailand, disrupting traffic and prompting evacuations. Part of Samsen Road in the Thai capital — which is in the midst of monsoon season — collapsed in front of a school at around 7:00 a.m. local time on Wednesday, Sept 24, according to the Royal Thai Police (RTP). The hole is also very close to a hospital and a police station. “Vajira Hospital, Samsen Road, Dusit District, Bangkok, is a hole 30 x 30 meters wide [98 feet x 98 feet], 50 meters deep [160 feet], and has a tendency to collapse further. Later, at the scene, two electric poles fell and there was a station car,” a release from the RTP read.
