Watch: Fault line that could “split Africa in two” wreaks havoc in Kenya
Updated | By The Workzone with Mack Rapapali
The ground below our feet is changing and Africa could soon split in two.
The ground below our feet is changing and the planet we live on is going to be very different very soon.
As reported by NTV, a large section of the Nairobi-Narok Highway has caved in, swallowed up by the ground after a huge geological event. Fortunately, no-one was seriously hurt. But this incident does have more extensive consequences.
The reason for the collapse in that specific area is that it had been subject to heavy rains in the build-up to the disaster. However, NTV report that the weather has had “very little effect” on the road collapse.

They state that the earth’s crust is solely responsible for the dramatic change. The South African reports that this is the second time in five years that a crack this size has opened up there. Engineers were able to backfill the hole left by the tectonic activity and the road has since re-opened for public use.
