00:08deep sinkhole in Jalan Masjid, India, as the operation enters its third day with no sign
00:14of the victim.
00:16G. Parameswaran, a wastewater engineer, said the woman must be presumed dead, given the
00:22high speed at which the sewer lines flow.
00:27He said the sewer lines have a minimum flow speed of one metre per second, adding that,
00:31theoretically, the body could have travelled up to 86.4 kilometres within 24 hours.
00:38Parameswaran said the focus should shift to the Pantai Tu Sewage Treatment Plant, where
00:43the body could eventually end up.
00:46Parameswaran, who also serves as the President of the Malaysian Water and Wastewater Quality
00:51Safety Association, warned that the body might have decomposed rapidly in the harsh
00:57sewer environment.

01:05India, when she fell into a sinkhole that suddenly opened up beneath her at 8.20 am
