Sinkhole downgraded to a pothole

A sinkhole that swallowed the bottom part of a truck in Adelaide, Australia, has been downgraded to a pothole.



The truck got stuck at the side of the road in Broadview, in the northern suburbs, at 10am on Friday.





The truck's rear axle was completely underground and its front right wheel off the ground. Con Tsacos, who was working nearby when the truck was engulfed by the pothole, said it was lucky the truck didn't roll over onto its side.



"I could just hear a rumble, a bang, crash, and turned around and I could see this truck falling over," Mr Tsacos said. "[It happened] relatively quickly, then it sort of took its time to fall down. I've never seen anything like it, unbelievable." No one was injured.

Obviously they do not know the meaning of the word constantly.

FREQUENTLY, OFTEN, NOW AND AGAIN, SOMETIMES WITHOUT WARNING.
But not constantly.

If its holes are large enough to swallow the ass end of a truck, the pot must grow really large in Australia.
