'I can't believe the size of it': Ottawa sinkhole collapses road, forces evacuations

How smart is it to have all those heavy cement trucks that close to the hole?

 

[darkbeaver]

If you want the insurance money on the machiery rather than the non existant contracts to pour, then it might be considered smart to have them exactly as they are, they fall into the hole you make money, cha-ching, cha-ching

If you turn left and go up that street by the CIBC branch for a couple of hundred yards, you will hit the Royal Canadian Mint on the port bow.

Perhaps, they accidentally stumbled on someone's tunnel?

Our plan failed. Alpha Beta Omega protocol invoked.

That's what she said.

She did say that, at the Alpha Beta Omega meeting. Bad situation. It will be taken up at the galactic conference.

Do they know parking that many loaded cement trucks that close together on possibly unstable ground is an insurance claim waiting to happen?

Struck a watermain while boring a transit tunnel?

I'm sure they have no idea of the risk you perceive. You should call 911.
