BBC Maceió: Salt mine ruptures in Brazil causing fear of collapse 11 Dec 2023 By Vanessa Buschschlüter

　もののついでに全面的な地盤崩壊でも起きやしないか、と住民は不安。実はそう心配した人たちがかなり退去して、ゴーストタウンになっちゃった地区もあるとか。

「A rupture at a rock salt mine in north-eastern Brazil has heightened fears of an impending total collapse.

Video recorded by the civil defence authority showed murky water bubbling up in the Mundaú lagoon near the city of Maceió, where the mine is located.

The closed mine was operated by Brazilian petrochemical giant, Braskem.

Over the past four decades, tens of thousands of residents have been displaced due to the destruction caused by the extraction of rock salt.

The rupture, which caused water from the lagoon to enter the mine, happened at 13:15 local time (16:15GMT) on Sunday.」

　そりゃあ、11月30日から12月10日までに2.35m落ちたところがあるって、大概なもんだよ…。

「Official measurements show that the ground subsided a total of 2.35m between 30 November and 10 December.」

　冗談も煽りも何も抜きで、これ、深刻な崩壊に至る可能性があるでしょう。さっさと住民を退去させた方が…。
