在日本大阪市繁忙区域的一处建筑工地，一根巨型地下管道在夜间突然从地面升起超过32英尺，几乎触及高架道路，而这一过程未被任何目击者看到。
周三凌晨，一名行人发现沥青碎块从管道中掉落，随即向警方报告了这根钢管的意外“长高”现象。这一异常情况引起了路人的困惑，导致交通拥堵。
一名路过现场的上班族告诉日本放送协会（NHK）公共电视台，他完全无法理解这是如何发生的。另一位附近工作的男子称，他起初以为是夜间新建了某种道路支撑结构。
据《日本时报》报道，市政官员表示，管道的突然隆起导致高架道路下方散落了混凝土碎片，但目前尚未收到人员受伤的报告。
大阪建设部门称，这根直径11.5英尺的管道最高时升至42英尺，迫使相关路段封闭。

“车辆可能要被堵一阵子了，”附近工作的一名男子向共同社透露。
据悉，该管道位于一个下水道施工现场，工人当时正在连接现有下水道与一条用于排洪的水道。市政官员解释称，此前工人刚排空了管道内的水，可能导致空管道因浮力作用而“上浮”。
附近居民川北良三（Ryozo Kawakita）告诉《日本时报》，由于道路封闭，他无法将车辆开出。
“我简直不敢相信，”他对媒体表示。
截至周四，消防人员在管道侧面切开一个口子并注水，将其重新推回地面，目前仅剩余数英尺露出地面。市政部门计划对剩余的5.2英尺进行切割处理，此次作业将导致道路再次封闭数日。

日本街道上的地陷事件较为常见。去年，东京郊外一座城市发生大规模地陷，吞噬了一辆卡车，司机被困超过24小时。
2016年，日本博多区一条五车道街道也曾出现巨型地陷，导致大面积停电和交通延误，但抢修人员连夜作业，才填补了这条繁忙街道上的巨大缺口。
Giant underground pipe mysteriously rises over 30 feet, bursting through road in Japan: “I can’t believe this”

A giant, underground pipe rose more than 32 feet out of a construction site in a busy area of the Japanese city of Osaka, nearly reaching an elevated road overnight, unseen by any witnesses.
The steel pipe’s unexpected growth spurt was reported to police early Wednesday by a pedestrian who saw broken pieces of asphalt falling from the cylinder, baffling people passing by and causing traffic congestion.
One office worker who passed by the site told NHK public television that he could not understand how it happened. Another man who works nearby said he first wondered if a new road support might have been built overnight.
City officials said the pipe’s surge scattered concrete debris beneath the elevated road, but no injuries were reported, the Japan Times reported.
The pipe, with a diameter of 11.5 feet, towered as high as 42 feet at one point, according to the Osaka construction department, forcing road closures.

“Cars will probably be blocked for a while,” a man who works nearby told the Kyodo news agency.
The pipe’s unexpected elevation from the ground occurred at a sewer construction site where workers had been connecting an existing sewer line with a channel designed to hold excess rainwater to prevent flooding.
The pipe was being used as a retaining structure to keep the surrounding soil from collapsing during the operation, officials said. A short time earlier, workers had drained water from the pipe, which may have caused the empty apparatus to float, they said.
Ryozo Kawakita, a resident who lives nearby, told the Japan Times he was unable to take his vehicle out because of the road closures.
“I can’t believe this,” he told the outlet.
By Thursday it had been lowered back to just several feet above the ground after firefighters cut a hole on the side and injected water to push it back into the ground.
City officials said they plan to cut the last 5.2 feet of the pipe that remain visible, an operation that would cause a road closure for several more days.

Sinkholes are a more common occurrence on streets in Japan. Last year, a massive sinkhole swallowed a truck in a city outside Tokyo, trapping the driver inside for more than 24 hours.
In 2016, an enormous sinkhole appeared on a five-lane street in Hakata, Japan. That sinkhole caused blackouts and traffic delays but crews worked around the clock to fix the gaping hole in the busy street.
