Описание: The Llangollen Canal in Whitchurch, Shropshire, suffered a catastrophic embankment breach on December 22nd at 4:00 AM, draining a mile of the UNESCO World Heritage waterway and creating a 50-by-50-meter chasm that swallowed at least two narrowboats and stranded their sleeping occupants, though all lives were saved. The disaster was caused by soluble Triassic rock beneath the 200-year-old man-made embankment, which dissolved when water found a weakness, leading to a sudden, complete infrastructure failure. Officials have declared a major incident, suspended navigation indefinitely, and warned that full restoration may not be completed until the end of 2027, highlighting the devastating blow to the local economy and the vulnerability of Britain's aging canal network, as experts warn such failures are becoming more common due to similar geological conditions and the age of the infrastructure.
