Part of Nicoll Highway Road Collapses

[Achilles Tang]

Hmmm apparently he is Malaysian of indian ascent now...

It seems the death toll is not that high.. coz the collapse was more towards the steel wall outdoors... and not at the underground tunnels?

[terryansimon]

I know what I say will stir some feathers, but...we all have to die sooner or later. a pity he has to die this way though.

lets just hope the death toll is kept at one. one death is bad enough, let alone a few more.

PS. any news on how long before the roads will be repaired to its rightful condition? and any news on whether all roads with MRT lines/tunnels running under it will have a QC check by civil engineers?

[Achilles Tang]

It may take as long as two years to get Nicoll highway backup.

Or as short as 1.

Oh man this is awful news. Makes you realise that Singapore is really built by the blood sweat and tears of poor immigrants in search of a better future- from the coolies of old to the masked and annoymous Thai grass cutter.

think its a very saddening thing to happen

singaporeans do take things for granted somehow and there

i guess LTA better do more checks

don want to see anymore of these happen

[terryansimon]

geeze reminds me of my hometown in Malaysia last time when it was hit by a landslide.

hopefully they get it up to speed. although I don't frequent that road.

a min of silence would be better for the dead.

[seamonkee]

All this digging into our soil is weakening our soil... wonder if anyone will still dare to take the circle line once its completed...

[nicholasloh]

a min of silence would be better for the dead.

BROZ :

ITZ AN ACT OF TERROR THEY SAY!!! NOT AGAIN 200404 THE DATE, DOES IT RING THE BELL YET AGAIN LIKE THE 911 INCIDENT???

[Siput]

Doubtful that it is an act of terror...the area is predominantly reclaimed land if I am not mistaken and thus may have proven problemmatic. Rather than joke about such things, plse spare a thought for the dead and the missing, along with their families...even 1 death is a tragedy; must we sensationalize it?

Cheers.

[dravan]

not an act of terror so pls.... the situation bad enough dun add salt n pepper to it..... its jus that one of the wall collaspe due to being unable to hold the weight of the soil.......

[jesperlam]

Not terror la...dun presume w/o evidence...construction accident only la...

[hammerhd]

this remind me the story of atlantis

The city was like us very developed compare to the rest of greece(???)

They r developed cos they chance upon a crystal that give them power like electrcity.so they just DIG and DIG tunnels/mines under the island to get the crystal

1day the island structure finally cannot tk it and collaspes into the sea

That is how atlantis sunk to the bottom of the sea

1 theory
