Default Scary - "underground cavities"

A portion of a busy downtown Al Ain road suddenly caved in due to an underground cavity, halting traffic on Wednesday night.

Nobody was reportedly hurt as the road - Mohammad Bin Khalifa Street - caved in around 5:30pm on Wednesday when the traffic was thin.

This is the first incident of a road subsidence in the city though Al Ain Municipality had already declared the presence of underground cavities in the city that could pose danger to roads, buildings, and other civic infrastructure.

Do we have these in Dubai????
