New Jersey Mine Collapse below I-80 - How did it Happen, What are the Dangers?

In this video, I discuss the details associated with the collapse of an abandoned underground mine which cause a sinkhole to form resulting in the collapse of a section of roadway on Eastbound I-80 in Wharton, New Jersey. I discuss the cause of the collapse, outline what steps should be taken to prevent other sinkholes from forming in the area, and how to delineate and remediate underground mines to avoid sinkhole formation.
