Local residents fill the water through the water supply vehicle with their housewares at the Shi Liu Zhuang road in Beijing, China, 26 April 2011. On April 26th a Star heavy truck was going down the Shi Liu Zhuang road in Beijings Fengtai district, an overloaded truck in a dusty part of Beijing, suddenly a 15-meter deep sink hole swallowed up the truck and its load. The hole appeared without warning and pulled the truck down into the depths of the city, breaking sewage pipes and electrical cables in the process. Two people were rescued from the truck by concerned citizens who were on the scene at the time. Fresh water supplies for local residents were also cut off for a period, leaving residents to take water from water trucks. The sinkhole was blamed on subway line construction.
