In Baltimore, you probably had some inches of black pavement then some old concrete and finally cobblestone with trolley tracks underneath. Or even brick laid in a pattern.Below that? Anything you can think of.I once witnessed a hole that was about as large as a regular trashcan. There was approx 60 personel, 10 supervisors with their own vehicles, clipboards and white hard hats. 4 Crew cab dump trucks towing a variety of equiptment. And a bunch of little stuff dragged, towed or carried to the site, the total operation of actually measuring the hole for future repair took about 4 hours.I believe there are truck stop stories circulating where entire sections will disappear during the night and truckers found themselves on the other side with everything stripped off below the cab floor. No wheels, no fuel tanks no frame, just the cab and box after a really bad impact. Turned out they encountered sinkholes so big that the rigs would jump across and lose everything when they just made it to the other side.Makes you kind of pay attention on the big road sometimes.I think any number of overloaded trash trucks fall down through city streets with some regularly. You would see them half in and half out of the street.
