NEW YORK — New Yorkers stand on ground that is crumbling beneath their feet — and Angelo Bastone has seen it for himself.
Bastone was cleaning the drain on the side of his house in the Bronx’s Morris Park neighborhood in July when he heard a “thump.” He rushed to his window and looked over to nearby Radcliff Avenue, where he saw a sinkhole had opened up so big that it swallowed a van.
“A lot of places in this area have a lot of big potholes, and they’re going to sink,” said Bastone, 56, who’s lived in the area his entire life.
