Crater forms in Srtomovka park

A crater formed in Prague’s Stromovka park on Sunday morning above the location of a tunnel being dug under the surface. The twenty metre crater formed on a grassy area of the park in northern Prague, and there have been no reports of any injuries. A similar crater formed in a different area of the park in April of this year. A 21 billion crown road tunnel is being built underground in this area, and workers from Metrostav, a company involved in the construction soon sealed off the area above ground where the earth collapsed. The planned tunnel is scheduled to be completed in 2011.
