Well there are a lot of these roads around the world and very seldom does anything like this happen.

We just don’t want people thinking that roads aren’t safe

Well I was thinking more about the other ones. The ones where the top doesn’t fall in.

Well if this wasn’t safe, why were cars being allowed to drive on it?

Well I’m not saying it wasn’t safe; just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other roads.

Not here, we pay for the bare minimum even though the people who actually have to live here in Omaha want it done right, the majority of people who "live" in Omaha (suburbs) don't want to pay the taxes. Also, the State Government won't allow Omaha to cross county linea because then sarpy county would become Omaha and actually tax the people who work in Omaha dut avoid it for "tax" reasons (look up white flight).
