These People Were Just Trying To Get To Work When This Monstrosity Opened Up

The workday commute is difficult enough without total disasters getting in the way.

I live less than eight blocks from the school where I teach and it still takes me almost 10 minutes to get to work. Since I only live in a mid-sized town, I can’t even begin to imagine the struggles of trying to get to work in a much larger hub like New York City or Philadelphia. While there are many ways I could go about bettering my daily commute, after seeing what improving the subway systems in this Japanese city could’ve just caused, I think I’ll stick to leaving a few minutes early.

Commuters in Fukuoka, Japan, were in for quite the delay when a large sinkhole opened up in the middle of the street.

The almost 100-foot-wide sinkhole is said to have started as two significantly smaller sinkholes before merging into the immense cavity pictured below.

Sewage quickly began filling the gap which is almost 50 feet deep.

While local authorities are still investigating the cause of the leak, subway crews were working just under 1,000 feet away from the split trying to extend an existing tunnel. Some say this could’ve contributed to the disaster.

Luckily, no one was injured because of the sinkhole, but many nearby residents were evacuated and roughly 170 households are still without power.

The five major roads surrounding the sinkhole site, located in the Fukuoka business district, have also been closed down until further notice. It is unknown if there was any major damage to surrounding gas lines, and investigations into potential gas leaks are still underway.

I don’t know about you, but that’s definitely not how I’d like to start my day.

The British historical drama “Downton Abbey” had an episode with a pro-life theme that many are praising.

CDC: NYC doctor Craig Spencer passed enhanced screening at airport

http://twitter.com/#!/CDCgov/status/525472737163485185

Ebowla patient Dr. Craig Spencer recently returned to the U.S. from the front lines of the Ebola crisis in West Africa. Upon his return, Dr. Spencer was subjected to “enhanced screening” at the airport, according to the CDC.

Tweeters drew the obvious conclusion:

Well, the conclusion is obvious to everyone except the CDC, apparently.

That was such a profound point that the CDC decided to tweet it again:

No kidding? Funny how that happens when a virus has an incubation period that lasts several weeks (at least).

So what exactly is the point of enhanced screening, again?
