Wa.. see all the cars driving over like got dropped abit..
Think the driver froze, don't know how to react. If the driver ram on the accelerator the moment felt the sinking feeling, maybe got chance to clear it before it collapsed fully. There is a few seconds before the road totally gave way and sink.

BCA said the ground is safe. It was also deemed safe before the sinkhole appeared. Might as well say the ground might sink or might not sink.

The probability of falling into sinkhole while driving is extremely remote . I don’t know if it has ever happened in sinkieland. She happened to be the unlucky one but lucky in the sense she survived without any injury as she was rescued in the nick of time .

Any land beyond east coast road to the sea is reclaimed land which is sand. Sand is nvr stable.

Example of sand reclaimed land r marina south/east, jurong island, changi airport, tekong.

V tricky if u wana dig there, cos sand v easy to give way.
