Wow, when I heard about a “Brooklyn water main break” on the radio yesterday morning, I was like “Ho hum, sucks for those poor N/R riders…” But then to see these awesome shots of an SUV face down in a sinkhole! I mean, come on. A sinkhole! In New York! And it swallowed up an SUV!

I’m sure the driver was pretty scared, but seeing as how she’s ok, I hope she’s laughing about the irony of her situation by now. She was probably driving around in that honkin’ thing, feeling so safe and secure–secure in the knowledge that she could run down just about anything on the road. The thought probably never crossed her mind that she just might run down the road itself.

Sweet. If she’d been driving a Hummer she’d probably be somewhere in China by now.
