BANGKOK — Thai authorities rushed to contain a massive sinkhole near a hospital in central Bangkok that disrupted utilities and traffic, officials said on Wednesday.
The 50-metre deep sinkhole extended about 900 square metres in front of the Vajira Hospital, halting traffic.
Footage on social media showed the road slowly sinking as water poured out from a drainage pipe, dragging down electricity poles. The hospital announced that it would not take on patients during the incident.
