Tokyo: A truck that fell into a sink, which suddenly opened on the road near Tokyo, attracted national attention as attempts to save the summer driver are drawn. Residents near the pit were leaving at a local school, and on Thursday there were worries for flooding and leakage of sewage. There was also a continued discussion on the older infrastructure of Japan.
What happened?
Immediately after Tuesday morning, a sink appeared, northeast of Tokyo, a 3-ton truck fell on Tuesday morning. Initially, the sink was approximately 10 meters (33 feet) in width and 5 meters deep (16 feet), but since then it has increased to twice.
What about the driver?
It is believed that a 74-year-old man was trapped in a flat bed truck. He was conscious and communicating with rescue workers before, but did not respond from Tuesday during the day, reports Yashio Fire Service official Yoshifum Khashiguchy.
What caused the sink?
The Saitama prefectural sewer system, the official Jun Whar, stated that corrosion, perhaps due to strong acid, which passes constantly through the system, could create a hole in the pipe, resulting in the soil from above fell and creates a large hollow space between it and the road.
No pipe problems have been found during the last visual inspection that takes every five years. Staid water flowing from the damaged pipe can also cause flooding.
Why is salvation lasts for so long?
Unstable soil with a hollow space beneath it prevents salvation. The television frames captured the asphalt road and collapse into the sink, knocking down billboards. The authorities tried to save the driver by lifting his truck with the cranes, but they could only restore the loading platform, leaving behind the cabin, where they believed that the driver was trapped. Officials also tried to remove the sediment without success and dig a driver. They also flew into the drone into the hole to see if the rescuers could climb down, but no progress has been made.
What about neighbors?
Neighbors are asked to reduce the use of water. Parts of the road are closed. There is also uncertainty about how long operations will last.
About 20 inhabitants within a 200-meter (656 feet) radius leaned in a local junior school on Thursday, the city reports.
More than one million inhabitants throughout the prefecture of the site, especially in areas where the sewage goes to the pipe, was asked to cut underwear and swim to prevent it from being overflowing. Prefectured officials also began to take the sewer from the pumping station upstream and release it into the adjacent river after processing, Uehara said.
What next?
When the driver comes out, the experts will enter the sink and inspect the sewer system.
The Ministry of Earth, Infrastructure and Transport has ordered a national inspection of sewage systems. In one of the most prone to catastrophes, the shell was concerned about the aging of infrastructure.
Most of the major public infrastructure of Japan was built during the rapid economic growth of the 1960s and 1970s. Sewage pipe in Yashiro about 40 years.
