A Big One at LAX

Here is a big bad pothole that blew out my right front tire in my Jag. It’s located on Sepulveda Blvd. southbound at the Lincoln Blvd. junction right before you go into LAX. My tire blew on May 3rd and as of today, 5/15, the pothole is still there. There is also another pot hole 20 feet before it in the second lane. The thing is at least 24-inches wide and six inches deep. That is the lane everyone uses to get into LAX so I can’t be the only victim.
