A
hueco
is a
pothole.
And
the
pothole
that
a
broken
water
main
caused
on
Wednesday
is
the
mother
of
all
potholes,
not
only
for
its
size,
for
it
is
not
the
biggest
on
record,
but
its
affect
on
the
whole
country.
While
the
news
media
kept
us
informed
on
the
progress
of
the
repair
and
the
road
chaos
it
created,
the
social
media
was
busy
poking
fun.
Following
is a
collection
of
images
circulating
on
Facebook
and
other
social
media
websites:
A
mock
front
page
of
the
La
Nacion
showing
the
same
type
of
equipment
used
to
reach
trapped
miners
in
Chile,
to
exaggerate
the
depth
of
the
pothole.
The
caption
reads
"MOPT
begins
investigation
of
the
depth
of
the
pothole".
