Gas Leak Causes Sinkhole During Flood Cleanup in South Philly


How do you make a major water main break that floods city streets, forces the evacuation of at least three city blocks, an even larger portion of the city to lose water service even worse that it originally appears? Simple: you add a gas leak and a sinkhole to the situation. Crews cleaning up the mess left from the flood were forced to suspend their efforts as the Fire Department took over because a gas leak had turned the intersection of 21st and Bainbridge into a giant sinkhole.
