You can't tell how deep a puddle is, from the top.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Oregon couple driving home from Taco Bell in storm share terror after water-logged road crumbled beneath their Jeep and sent them into 12-foot SINKHOLE

Katlynn Bicknell and Kevin Noel managed to escape from their vehicle, which had plunged into a 12-foot sinkhole on Saturday in Vancouver, Washington

The sinkhole was caused by a leak of a 1940s water pipe, city officials said

Vancouver Public Works said sinkholes are possible but not common

An important lesson from my father.

#1 So how long had the eighty-year-old pipe been leaking before the water department noticed?

#3 Sure; go through a bag of Taco Bell and blame something else for the hole in the road.

#4 Oregon couple driving home from Taco Bell

I see mentioning Taco Bell was an integral part of the story. I mean, I don't think I could have finished reading had I not known that they were driving home from Taco Bell.
