[ILQSO] 2008 ILQP

[Hank Greeb]

Near Grand Rapids here in Michigan there was, literally, a "pothole" 
which almost swallowed an automobile.  It turned out that a water main 
had broken, probably due to freeze-thaw cycles and bitterly cold 
weather, which caused the foundation of the road to get washed away, 
leaving just the pavement with no support.  A car hit this, and wound up 
with the nose of the car swallowed in the hole up to the front door and 
the windshield.

So, Illinois and Oklahoma don't have a corner on potholes!
