[Updated] Sinkhole opens up on East 10th Street



Around 4:45, some passersby flagged down an NYPD cruiser … seems as if a sinkhole just opened right up … much to the excitement of some of the teens standing nearby…



Not likely coincidentally … this is almost the exact spot between Avenue A and Avenue B where Con Ed was called in on Wednesday morning…

… Con Ed blocked off this street for part of the morning.

Not sure what is going on … We hate to speculate, but it's totally a volcano … watch Tommy Lee Jones in action. It may save your life.



Updated 5:20 p.m.

Oh, it's fixed!

Holy Crap! I think the sinkhole swallowed my Mercedes. Couldn't find it when I walked out of the bar. And I have at least 5 witnesses who saw me park it right there. Shawn Chittle was one of them.

I demand this sinkhole be turned into a community swimming pool!

So can we put trash in the sinkhole and the trash can?

Looks nearly like the last picture in Treme's last episode.

I like when they put the trash can IN the sink/pot hole!
