GIGANTIC SINKHOLE EMERGES IN THE MIDDLE OF LOWER MANHATTAN

We hope you like your floods served with a giant side of sinkhole.


Earlier this morning,  a 55-year-old water main erupted outside the famed Katz’s Delicatessen located on E. Houston and Ludlow St., creating a massive flood and sinkhole to form around the area.

The water main, which was installed in 1959, also caused a 20-by-20-foot street 
collapse.
