Really a busy area but how could there is no something to support the hole?
*
Cos there is not suppose to be hole there. The soil beneath has been wash away by the water/sewage

sewage flow current can be very strong one?
*
Depends on the size of the catchment. The KL south one to Pantai Dalam which this lady fell into is the biggest in Malaysia and probably SEA. It is extremely strong current. Anyone that fell in really no hope liao RIP.

If not there then where? It's worse if cannot find.

That's the last point her body will be found unless it's stuck somewhere along the way. But the endpoint will be Pantai Dalam.

Why send man down when they say poisonous gas in sewer?
I'm sure IWK has sewer inspection robot?



*
Robot for sewer inspection is for dry isolated sewer. This is a live sewer with rushing water. The bomba guy is probably wearing scuba gear so not affected by the sewer gases. But I agree it is extremely dangerous and really not worth the risk.

It's ok. They doing it now...

Watching this I would question what the hell happened to the original manhole. Even in the video where she fell there is no manhole cover. Someone removed it in the past and didn't cover up the hole to the chamber properly. It's a time bomb when erosion will finally cause the pavement to collapse.

all these flowing sludges and water end point is where? the ocean or some indah water plant?

The sewer line she fell into will end up in Pantai Dalam pumping station where Bomba has been seen observing it..

>Call off sewer search for woman in sinkhole incident, says expert

it is suggestion from expert, not sure DBKL Bomba IWK will listen or not

I agree with this guy. The authorities will also agree honestly but they cannot show to give up so early on. When the K9 fail to pick up her scent on the scene the first night already indicates she fell into the sewer line already. In which case she is very very unlikely to still be alive.

If you know sewer stations got many lift stations due to changing topography, gravity is your friend, the plan is to always use gravity to gather the sewage into one giant underground well and then pump up to treatment plant.

If the victim ended in one of those normally is sink first before decomp and float back up , however it's still not easy to recover if assuming is not being held down by the pump suction already
*
There is no lift station between where she fell and pantai dalam. Its gravity all the way with extremely strong flow. Just that she might be caught along the way as the amount of rubbish in our sewers is no joke...

Then flushing as they said until reach pantai but that night already heavy water flow also didn't flush so not guaranteed
*
Flushing they said because the water in mh 5 and 6 was kinda slow so they suspect got some kinda blockage there. Hopefully they can clear it and find the body soon.

I want to understand how did a sinkhole open up and linked up to underground IWK sewer pipes?

If I not mistaken, read that there was a similar sinkhole last year in the same place, that contractors closed it up.

If this were true, then why wasn't it done up properly? Smells like negligence but let's wait and see. 

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 23): A soil slip was reported last year at the same location where the sinkhole occurred in Jalan Masjid India here this morning.

There is a manhole where this current collapse happened. I believe the sinkhole collapse damaged the manhole and caused it to collapse as well exposing the hole (originally the joint between the manhole and sewerline) to the sewerline. And the SAR believe she fell into the gaping hole where the manhole used to join to the sewerline since their K9 fail to detect her scent at the scene. Just my theory take it with a grain of salt.

they just covered up the manhole: it appears so.

Without rectifying the issue.

If its really got negligence involved, and if this is true, I really hope n pray there is no cover up and the contractors will get the full order of the law for such tidak apa attitude work.
*
Can't comment based on just a few photos. For all we know they did proper repair of the previous collapse but it happened again on a larger scale etc. Only those involved in the previous project know what work was carried out and how well it was completed.

drop to sewerage i think cant survive 4 hrs... the toxic and gas there.. prolly just hope for instant knockout to minimise pain and anxiety... just recovery and closure for now..
*
Honestly if she really drop in there probably drown in minutes no need 4 hours or toxic gas. Even the divers with proper suit and gear have difficulty to dive in far.

Yes. That mega sewage treatment plant—the largest in Asia Pacific and full underground. Above have a 12 hectare public park,  Pantai Eco Park and community centre.

Not this one actually. It's the one on the other side of NPE from this one. All the sewage from South KL will flow there first
