BEIJING - Thousands of people were evacuated from several high-rise apartment buildings in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin in recent days after land collapses created large cracks on nearby streets, according to state media and the local government.Geological experts said they were likely caused by underground cavities below a depth of 1,300m, the Tianjin government said on Thursday on social media.
The Tianjin government called the incident a “sudden geological disaster” following preliminary information from geological experts and several government departments after they did surveying, mapping and monitoring at the site. It cannot be ruled out that the drilling of geothermal wells had resulted in soil loss and land subsidence in the area, the Tianjin government said.Roads could be seen buckled and warped in photos on social media, while others showed a section of wall tile from a building collapsed on the floor.
