Three sinkholes opened up along North Fourth Street in Harrisburg, Pa.
The first sinkhole along Fourth Street opened Monday morning when a 6-ton city garbage truck fell partially into it. City officials said the hole was caused by soil erosion beneath the street due to a damaged water pipe connection.
City officials said a second hole opened about 11 p.m. Monday, resulting in the loss of water, gas and sewer service to the neighborhood

A sinkhole is not expected to delay the opening of the new Publix store in Oxford.
The sinkhole appeared this week on the grounds of a retail development called "Oxford Commons," located on Leon Smith Parkway at I-20.
The site was once part of the old antebellum "Davis Farm" and archaeologists say it was a Native American village before that.

I think in south america and africa there is not going to be that much news about sinkholes cuz there is a lot of country areas and if one of them appears in a city people would think is negligence from the government about the quality of the construction or whatever (negligence on infrastructure is common in third world countries) unless a huge sinkhole appears like the one from Honduras, then it could be reported!

I do agree with that, I had the same thoughts on yesterday.
So, it must have many others "events" as sinkhole which are not repertoried in any medias.

Thx Muxel! 
In today's newspapers there is a story that all over area where this hole emerged there are mining tunnels on few levels (correct 6 - and that 6th is always under water). In this mine the bauxite ore has been dug some 30+ years ago... So maybe they are covering up, so people could buy that this is logical - not something to worry about...
