Water, water, everywhere

A bird's-eye view of the intersection of Pudong Avenue and Xiepu Road where a 500-milimeter-diameter waterpipe burst at about 1:30pm yesterday, severely flooding streets, damaging the road surface and cutting off the water supply to hundreds of households nearby. According to repair workers, the burst pipe may have been caused by the sudden fall in temperature yesterday, or subsidence attributed to an excessive number of heavy trucks going to and from a nearby construction site. Police closed Pudong Avenue to east-to-west traffic to allow for repair work, which wasn't finished until late yesterday.
