Construction Of Metro Station In Chengdu China Collapses Until A Big Hole Appears

JAKARTA - Construction of the Metro station, which is under construction in the Chinese city of Chengdu, caused a large gaping hole on the roads of popular tourist and commercial areas.

"No casualties were reported in the accident, which occurred after two water pipes broke out in the subway construction hole," Chengdu Rail Construction said on its official website on Weibo.

The state television station CCTV also broadcast footage of the sewer, which according to emergency staff to local media will not endanger the safety of surrounding buildings.

The area is popular among visitors who come to see the native Ginkgo tree.

Metro Chengdu Line 13 is scheduled to open in 2025 with 21 underground stations.

China has consistently ordered several industries ranging from mining, highway transportation to construction to implement stricter safety standards.
