Pittsburgh had a viral sinkhole before it was cool (I think maybe BB ran it? Or was it Reddit? It all blurs together)

There were gas lines down there and the authorities had to shut of everything before the bus could be moved. I used to think that sinkholes were something that only occurred out in the countryside or in areas that were geologically prone to it. But the are becoming common in many urban areas, perhaps owing to leaky water or sewage lines.
