Florida calls off search for man swallowed by sinkhole
Authorities in Florida ended the search Saturday for a man presumed dead after a sinkhole opened beneath the bedroom of his family's Tampa home. They stopped because the hole is still expanding and the house could collapse at any time. This all started Thursday night when the Bush family was going to bed and they heard a very loud noise. They ran to the room and everything was gone. Jeremy Bush and four other people including a 2-year-old child were uninjured. Nearby houses were told they had 30 minutes to get belongings and abandon the premises. The sinkhole is about 20 feet to 30 feet across and may be 30 feet deep said emergency workers.

This has been an interesting story. I couldn't imagine seeing something like this. The fear of the earth swallowing you is a very scary thought. If I lived in that area, I would be moving far away from there. What would you do?
ReplyDeleteThat would suck to get swallowed by a sinkhole! Would you die of natural causes or of the fall? They should tie a rope to a helicopter to save him!
