Leonard Shoulders, 33, had been waiting on a bus at 3rd Avenue across from Saint Barnabas Hospital on Saturday when the sidewalk caved in Surveillance footage shows him falling into the dark hole Shoulders was unable to get out of the hole for more than 30 minutes He refused to scream because there were rats in the pit, worried they would crawl into his mouth
Surveillance footage shows the moment that Shoulders falls into the sidewalk, trying to hold on and ultimately plummet 12 to 15ft.
'The Full Vacate Order is still in effect, and a construction fence has been erected around the building in the interest of public safety.'

There are a lot of RATs around me too. Very disturbing. There are always lots of RATs around when you live or work near a University.

The joys of living in bluerbia. I'd rather deal with skunks, foxes, and raccoons.

NYC rats can tunnel through anything except the hardest bedrock and steel.
You might see a street that looks brand new on top but actually completely empty below from rats tunneling.

Lots of mean nasty big rats in New York, especially on the subway tracks. They even climb into the subway trains every now and again.

I would think that many rats served as a cushion.
I think we need our cities to encourage their rat populations to make sudden sinkholes safer.

Not a pleasant image does this create for me, and most likely many others.
