Japan crews work 'around the clock' to fill giant sinkhole

Work crews rushed Wednesday to fill in a giant sinkhole that appeared in the middle of a Japanese city's bustling business district, swallowing part of a five-lane street. Workers dumped huge amounts of wet cement and sand into the gaping hole, measuring around 30 metres (98 feet) wide and 15 metres deep, that had exposed support columns of nearby buildings at a traffic intersection in the southern city of Fukuoka.
