Yes; soil piping was mentioned as a likely cause in one of the reports I 
read.

Mark,

Thanks for sharing, one of the few advantages of having lots of
cameras filming the public is you do occasionally get some pretty
dramatic shots. Not sure this is a karst issue or area (and there is
certainly some amazing karst in China), but is possibly a soil piping
issue into some infrastructure such as a storm or sanitary sewer.
That's one way to can get sinkhole collapses in non-karst area.
