Jakarta Is Disappearing…😳Added:
Why is an entire city moving to a jungle? Meet Jakarta, the capital [music] of Indonesia. It is sinking faster than almost any other city on Earth, up to 10 inches every single year. Why? Because millions of people are pumping too much water out from underground, causing the land to literally collapse. So, the government is doing something crazy. They are spending 35 [music] billion dollars to build a brand new capital called Nusantara from scratch.
