Hence the definition of sinking...

  Good point. The "so fast" part actually means nothing.

    Maybe they meant it's so fast there's no time to do anything about it.

  Yeah, it's not easy to convey how pressing the issue is by just stating that Jakarta is sinking, but that really is a surprisingly dumb headline for an otherwise solid article.

    "Sinking" is used in the third sense of http://www.dictionary.com/browse/sink?s=t http://www.dictionary.com/browse/sink?s=t. The headline is just fine.

  ”To sink” has multiple definitions, one of them ”to fall or drop to a lower place or level” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sink https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sink)
