You might be tempted to think this is yet another of those mysterious sinkholes that have been appearing around China, but nope, this is really just one giant gaping hole on a bridge! On Sunday morning at 3.30am in Changchun, this unfortunate truck driving across a bridge over Yitong River fell through the fracture, injuring the driver and another passenger. Was the truck overweight or was the bridge just shoddily constructed with substandard steel? We're inclined to think it's the latter. more ›

A photographer in Xiamen has been condemned for lying in wait to get these unfortunate (but, we admit, amusing) pictures of people on bikes hitting a pot-hole submerged in rainwater. According to Ananova, one netizen wrote: "The pictures are well shot, but the person who shot this is disgusting. He knew there was a pit, but was waiting htere for someone to fall over." The photographer defended himself by arguing that without the pictures, the government would have never noticed the pit. (Oof, turns out this whole story is at least four years old.
