Moment sinkhole pulls down power lines in busy Bangkok street

A large sinkhole opened up on a busy street in Bangkok, Thailand, causing significant disruption. The sinkhole, which appeared suddenly, was captured on social media footage showing cars precariously balancing on the edge of the crater. The incident occurred in a populated area of the city, and the sinkhole pulled down power lines, leading to a temporary power outage in the surrounding neighborhoods. Authorities responded quickly to the situation, securing the area and working to restore power and repair the damage. The cause of the sinkhole is under investigation, but it serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of infrastructure issues in densely populated urban environments. No casualties were reported, and the incident highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring critical infrastructure to prevent such incidents from occurring.
