What we can learn from this is Gov should probably stop using brick tiles for walkways or roads, they look fancy but are anything from safe.

If a sinkhole forms you won't know until it's too late like what happened to this lady and her family.

I'm not an expert here but I think something like Tar road would atleast show some early signs of sinkhole formation and the authorities can act fast from public complaints when they see it.

But with brick tiles like this Infront masjid India, how to know what's going underneath the ground?

which is true with tiles. As the top layer of the tiles itself, it is very thin, a few MM, follow by compacted crusher run or soil and then sand and then mortar for the tiles to sit on, if thick cement type pavement tiles for foot traffic, it is just sand. When there is soil movement and soil beneath buckle, top surface will immediately give up.

variable is too large honestly, no matter what you put on the top, when the soil underneath give up, top surface will go. Could be a pipe line burst down there wash away all of the soil

she dalam malang at the wrong place at the right time.

RIP lady.
