This is the damage done to the closed section of Route 61 in Centralia, PA. A mine fire rages below the ground and has burned away enough coal to cause a cave in and cause the road to buckle and split apart.

  • what if they flood the entire cavity?

    They tried that with water and fly ash for months. They couldn't get to the fire and eventually gave up. They could have put it out earlier then they tried, but couldn't get the funding in time.
