100 evacuated as Warsaw street sinks during subway construction

WARSAW, Poland (AP) - A street in downtown Warsaw has partially collapsed during the construction of a subway line and builders are pumping hundreds of tonnes of cement under it to keep nearby buildings upright.

A water pipeline leaked early on Friday near a station being built on the Warsaw subway's second line. A few dozen metres of asphalt sunk and an office building and an apartment building nearby shifted slightly, forcing the evacuation of about 100 residents.
