Description

In an effort to break the world record for number of puns in under two minutes, Ivan Little visits the Whitewell Road in Newtownabbey to report on the bad luck that Eamon Malone experienced in August 1988. Malone's car was broken into in the City Centre one evening. The next morning he woke to find a massive sinkhole had appeared in front of his home. The hole was caused by a mains water leak which undermined the road causing it to become unstable.
