Missing Manhole Covers

It is a common sight to see uncovered manholes and unfortunate event to some, to be sucked fall into an open one, here in the Philippines. This particularly happen here in Mega Manila.

Now this piece of news is interesting. In Philadelphia (you know, the city of brotherly love), people are being sucked into manholes, just like what is happening here.

No, it is not them aliens doing these things but its them again, manholes without covers.

Manhole covers are being stolen to be sold as scrap metals.

And it is not just in Philadelphia that these things happen.

These happen too in New York, Phoenix, Cleveland, Memphis, Miami.

Who knows, there are probably a lot more cities though these haven’t caught some attention yet from the media.

Here is the link to the article.

    i hate this open things. i am scared of anything that has the potential of making me fall, even the covered ones, i am scared to walk over them so i can’t imagine open ones without covers!
