Santo Domingo.- A sinkhole that last week “swallowed” a twin cabin pickup truck has prompted the National District City Council to issue a temporary construction ban in the upscale sector Los Prados, which takes effect today Monday.

Prominent geologist Osiris de Leon said the area, which just 15 years ago was a soggy lowland, and has subsurface water currents, whereas National District Pllaning Office director Jose Abel Noboa affirmed that faulty drainage wells are also to blame.

The ban includes adjacent areas such as Las Praderas, La Castellana and San Geronimo, in the capital’s western outskirts.

General, would that be in the truck, or in the hole?

Now for the rest of the story. It can be suggested but not confirmed the truck was not swallowed up by the hole. The operator, a fanatico of Hippo, drove into the hole following ex pres Mejia as the ex pres was digging a hole he would not be able get out of.

Well it could be worse they could have a Shit Hole like in Villa Vasquez!

"Turds Float in the Streets of Villa Vasquez"

For five years this community has been suffering from this horrible disease causing neglect while the PLD and NARCO-Lie-onel were using Villa Vasquez's Tax Pesos to build a USELESS METRO in the Capital!

Read the rest and watch the Turd video at:


"Heces fecales flotan en las calles de Villa Vásquez"


La situación que les afecta desde hace casi cinco años, debido a supuestos errores de trabajos relativos a la conexión del acueducto de la Línea Noroeste, a cargo del Instituto Nacional de Aguas Potables y Alcantarillados (INAPA), el Instituto Nacional de Recursos Hidráulicos (INDRHI) y la empresa Odebrech. Mientras esperan la solución de estos problemas, las enfermedades generadas por la contaminación, van en aumento en Villa Vásquez.
