LaGuardia Runway 4/22 shut after depression found, echoing prior sinkhole

LaGuardia Airport temporarily shut Runway 4/22 after an approximately two-inch depression was found during an airfield inspection, triggering testing and repairs with Runway 13/31 handling traffic overnight and officials aiming to return 4/22 to service as soon as safe. The disruption follows a large sinkhole that closed the same runway last month, contributing to flight delays amid reduced operations and travelers being advised to check with their airlines for status.

Scientists Discover Hidden Underground Cave in Chinese Sinkhole

Scientists have discovered an enormous underground cave system inside a giant sinkhole called Hong Kong Haiting Hall in Guangxi, China. The sinkhole, one of the largest ever recorded, measures 100 meters wide, nearly 200 meters long, and 118 meters deep, featuring complex caverns, underground rivers, and geological formations shaped over millions of years by water erosion and collapse. This remarkable discovery provides valuable insights into karst topography and geological processes.
