Japan tries to rescue man stuck in sinkhole. Here's what's going on.

A massive sinkhole in Yashio, northeast of Tokyo, swallowed a truck, trapping its 74-year-old driver. Rescue efforts are hindered by unstable ground and growing sinkhole size. The collapse is linked to sewer pipe corrosion, raising concerns about aging infrastructure. Residents nearby evacuated, and over a million people were urged to reduce water use. Authorities plan nationwide sewer inspections to prevent similar incidents.
