Hole
Got 10/14 on this test. Wonder if that'd let me become a British citizen heh :)
And how freaky is this:
A big cave-in on the construction of the Lane Cove tunnel. There was someone in that room this morning when it happened. She got out ok. But tonight on the news they had footage of that floor collapsing into the hole, and the entire contents of her bedroom all went down the hole :( I wonder how much of the building will be left by tomorrow morning.
And Google Earth updated their picture of a decent chunk of Sydney, but they shifted the entire thing about 50 metres to the ENE. So all the marker points I placed in the southern part of the city are now a little way off to the right :(
Any word on what caused the cave in?

Nobody was hurt.
I believe an old sewer line had collapsed.
