[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.

Oh, it's fixed!

  2. 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.
