ARRRGH!
A water line break downtown caused the intersection of Ontario and Superior avenues to collapse about 7:45 this morning.
Jackie Johnson, 57, was watching water crews try to locate a shut-off valve when the pavement went "faloomp," she said. "Like wow."
Police have closed much of Public Square. Ontario is closed between Euclid and St. Clair avenues.
The crater could have swallowed up to a dozen cars, an observer said.
Linda Hayes stepped out of an RTA bus near the Justice Center and shook her head at the hole. "Girl, I saw a movie like this. It's amazing. Unbelievable."
Businesses on the square still have water service.
'Faloomp.'
Seriously.
That intersection just reopened after being closed for months. That intersection being closed adds on at least 20 minutes of travel time to and from work.
NOT. HAPPY.
