Introduction xxxxx All the news that's fit to print: NEWS STORIES xxxxx The Original News Story Tragedy in Gover's Mill, NJ this morning. Preliminary reports indicate that most of the town's main strip, including shops, banks and several fast food restaurants, has fallen into some kind of sinkhole, or series of sinkholes over the course of last night. Not far away from main street, the town's main elementary school, junior high and high school were also found to be mostly underground, and reduced to rubble. Much of the neighborhoods seem to be untouched, and the town's one hospital, right near the rest of the devastation, somehow escaped any of the surrounding sinkhole activity. The hospital is running on backup generators as of this morning due to a town-wide blackout, but New Jersey state resources are mobilizing to provide the hospital with whatever ongoing resources it might require. Officials are still baffled as to the cause of this event. The region is known for its tectonic stability, and the actual moment of collapse only barely registered on local seismic instruments. Only a handful of people were injured, though some quite seriously, and no deaths have been reported yet. Across the board, residents interviewed by this station indicated dismay at ever fully recovering from this disaster. The town has been supported by a meager tourist population, but experts are saying it could be a year or more before the buildings are properly demolished, and the streets repaired, possibly longer. Officials are also asking, if you're traveling south out of New York, please find alternate routes. Elsewhere today... Gallery
