first it caves in, then it sinks more eventually it collapses Explanation: On 6 July 1999 around 1:30 pm the sewage main vault caves in (caved) right above the soon to be collasped area. Ten minutes later, the street (itself) sinks in by close to 50 centimeters (by approximately 2 feet)then the collapsing continues/progresses (gets worse/deeper) for about 20 minutes.* -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-27 03:42:32 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ten minutes later, it is the turn of the street (itself) to sink in by close to 50 centimeters -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-27 04:06:02 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- small correction: collecteur = main sewer, voûte du collecteur = main sewer vault -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-27 04:07:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- small correction: collecteur = main sewer, voûte du collecteur = main sewer vault -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-27 04:06:48 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- small correction: collecteur = main sewer, voûte du collecteur = main sewer vault -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-27 14:22:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- a more precise technical terme for chaussée : road surface (roadway) |
