Biarritz, France A massive section of coastline near the lighthouse in Biarritz, a resort town on France’s southwestern Atlantic coast, collapsed Wednesday evening, killing one diver and leaving another missing, local authorities said. The collapse occurred around 8:20 p.m. while 3 divers were at the base of the cliff, Biarritz City Hall said in a statement. One escaped unharmed and was assisted by emergency teams. Rescuers, including specialized divers, launched a search operation for the 2 other persons. They recovered the body of a female diver. Searches for the other diver resumed Thursday. Officials have banned public access, swimming and boating within 300 meters (985 feet) of the cliff because of the risk of further collapse. https://kdhnews.com/news/world/a-cliff-collapses-near-biarritz-lighthouse-killing-a-diver-and-leaving-another-missing/article_747e2b65-ef99-5ed0-a243-d58d6a12ba69.html

INDEPENDENCE, Missouri The city of Independence announced a road closure Thursday due to an approximately 25-foot deep sinkhole. The sinkhole has closed West Pacific Ave from S Pleasant St to S Osage St as it has undermined about 10-15 feet of the roadway, per a press release from the city. The city said metal plates have been placed to secure the area while crews assess the damage.
