Car falls into sinkhole at Tanjong Katong Road South; one person taken to hospital

Not so simple as "jumping in". You jump in alone, no way to get back up, end up one more person that needs to be rescued.

I just watched the interview with the foreign workers. They coordinated among themselves and found a nylon rope to rescue the woman, who was about one to two metres below in the sinkhole. It was a calm and coordinated rescue effort, not an impulsive act of jumping in without thinking.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) will be reaching out to the workers who assisted in rescuing the driver who fell into the Tanjong Katong sinkhole.

In an update to their Facebook post at around 1:17 pm, SCDF clarified that the person they conveyed to the hospital following the opening of the sinkhole was rescued by the workers at the site before their arrival.

"We will be reaching out to the workers to commend them for their bravery and prompt action in saving a life," said SCDF.

You expect the sinkie supervisor to jump into the sink hole?? Might as well ask sinkie Brigadier General to lead infantry charge.

Kudos to the workmen who helped with their rope

. They coordinated among themselves and found a nylon rope to rescue the woman, who was about one metre below in the sinkhole. It was a calm and coordinated rescue effort, not an impulsive act of jumping in without thinking.

Yes, 3m deep only., if 5m deep no jump. Will burst the water pipe, pond the sinkhole and ask lady to float up.
