Since the creation of Facebook, a world of internet users have curiously watched the evolution of this social networking empire. Many took to the trendy internet fad right from the start.

Vancouver’s Marine Drive closed by massive sinkhole.

Wow! I was absolutely shocked after coming across this CBC News story this morning.


Gigantic sinkhole closes Vancouver Street.

A hole was found, late yesterday, in the middle of SE Marine Drive that was reported to be “…about nine metres wide, 14 metres long and nine metres deep…” Yahoo!News. That is an incredible amount of space when you think about it!

Quite the story, quite the photos! Although, it is pretty common knowledge the the ground below most of the Lower Mainland is not of the most stable, this is still quite a shocking story for most!
