yeah, the bbc were practically doing pieces to camera on my front doorstep
then when the car was rescued it came to earth in front of my house. that is my wall u can see in the background of the pictures of reunited owner and vehicle
majority of those present, besides a largely redundant horde of engineers, were locals with their dogs, some of whom seemed to have been there all afternoon
might post some of my own photos later

Post disaster relief: What happens after the TV cameras have left?
Emergency relief means saving lives, alleviating suffering, and ensuring survival. What happens after that immediate support? Donors are more and more interested to know whether disaster and post-disaster relief are sustainable. At the forefront of disaster and post-disaster relief, Switzerland, along with 14 other countries, leads the way in research, dialogue, and hard currency.

Man Reacts Brilliantly When This Car Fell Down A Sinkhole In Greenwichlondon-sinkhole-greenwich660SHARESFacebookTwitter
In the early hours of Thursday morning, one unfortunate Londoner woke up to the sight of his brother’s car being dragged down a sinkhole in Greenwich. Despite the seemingly shocking scene, Abdul Ahmadzai (the brother of Ghazi Hassan who owned the car), took a laid-back, nonchalant approach to it all.
Mr Ahmadzai said he woke up at 4am. Saw the car. Saw the hole. Went back to sleep. “Nothing I could do” he tells @PA.
— Joe Nerssessian (@joenerssessian) May 12, 2016
If we woke up at 4 in the morning to see our car making its way into the depths of the earth, we’re pretty sure we’d just go back to sleep too. In London sleep is precious, while cars are, perhaps, unnecessary. Our thoughts do go out to Mr Hassan and his gobbled up car. Apparently, the only thing keeping it slightly above the ground was a pipe. Emergency services are currently working on the area in Greenwich and are keeping residences updated.Georgie JonesGeorgie JonesAfter spending the last four years reading, writing and clinging onto her student life in Cardiff, Georgie’s traded the capital in for the English equivalent (against her Welsh Grandma’s wishes). The drinks may have quadrupled in price, but she’s hoping this will prevent any chance of her getting Valley-girl wasted on a night out.

The Electoral Commission has been forced to make an embarrassing apology after allowing an extremist party to use a slogan featuring murdered soldier Lee Rigby.
The watchdog had given the green light for Britain First to use the description “Remember Lee Rigby” on voting slips for next month’s European poll and now it can’t do anything about stopping them.
The commission admitted the gross error was made even worse by the fact polling day falls on the first anniversary of Drummer Rigby’s murder.

today greeted us with a biblical event in our garden - a beach! only last week in cyprus we had discussed the whimsical possibility of building a beach in our garden and here it was, sandbanks and gatherings of stone baking dry in the midday sun
the beach, it turned out, had washed across the road from the sinkhole site in heavy rain, for a large pile of stones and detritus, crowned flamboyantly with a small digger, had been left to the elements' mercy

I never knew there was so much in it.
The term is sometimes used to refer to doline, enclosed depressions that are also known as shakeholes, and to openings where surface water enters into underground passages known as ponor, swallow hole or swallet.[1][2][3][4] A cenote is a type of sinkhole that exposes groundwater underneath.[4] Sink, and stream sink are more general terms for sites that drain surface water, possibly by infiltration into sediment or crumbled rock.[2]
