On Thursday, a sinkhole opened in Brooklyn Heights, trapping a Nissan Altima. Fire Department responders closed off the intersection, diverting traffic until repairs could be made. The shallow surface hole hid a larger underground cavity, with flowing water observed. Local auto shop manager Eric Han highlighted the potential dangers, especially with an upcoming marathon. He expressed concerns over the infrastructure's integrity, linking the sinkhole to a nearby manhole explosion occurring just days prior, underscoring fears of potential widespread issues.
"They came back Friday and started construction and cordoned off the street for the temporary fix... Can you imagine if a runner fell in?"
"To me there must be a bigger issue... For all we know there could be sinkholes popping up everywhere."
