Sheer incompetence that’s how it happened. They're supposed to strengthen the drill hole with concrete as they drill through the ground. Niko stopped strengthening the drill wall after 300 meters and went up to 800 meters without any sort of measures from preventing the drill hole from collapsing. And, that’s what created this mess.
