Blame It On Slovenes

The missing Kupska St. in Zagreb, Croatia. (source)


According to numerous reports (including this one), a street in Zagreb, Croatia, has been literally swallowed by the Earth and took several houses along with it. The fact that the street was a construction site of a huge office building might have contributed to the fact that the terrain caved in, created a giant crater which was then filled with hectolitres of water, but hey :!: why blame idiotic construction companies, when you’ve got weather and - Slovenes.


At least according to Zagreb’s vicemayor Zvonimir Šostar, who - according to reports by index.hr - said that the street caved in because of Tuesday’s freak storms in Slovenia.


What. The. Fuck???


And they wonder why we don’t like them…


P.S.: Ah well - they’ve got tornadoes in Britain now… The world is going bananas.

P.P.S.: If you look carefully at the link above, you’ll notice that the Reuters’ story places Croatia in… Africa…. Well, construction seems to be on a par, for sure :mrgreen:
