[quote:Em18966:MV8yMTU1OTYxXzM2NDUxNTI1X0M1NTQ0OEI5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27837355:MV8yMTU1OTYxXzM2NDUxNDA5X0ZGMTYwQzI3] Here's an interesting from posted on a local Tampa online new site TBO.com "I think it is absured that the county has a capable excavator, and they aren't planning on trying to recover the body of the deceased so that the family can have a proper burial. Revitment mats could be placed on the unstable ground so that the machine could have a stable platform to work from. I guess they just don't want to spend any money to recover a low income dead person. I guess the moral to this story is if you are engulfed in a sinkhole in Hillborough County, then they leave you there. I bet those Miners in Chile are glad they weren't working in Hillbough County. The more I think about this the more I think that Hillbough County doesn't want it to be known what caused this instability. Could it be caused by some type of erosion from faulty water mains, storm water or sewer drains? Could it be that the aquifer is so depleted that the earth is settling. Something is going on beneath the surface that caused this, and to not thoroughly" [/quote] Yeah, I think it has a lot more to do with something going on they don't want anyone to see than not wanting to expend the resources to retrieve the body of a poor person. I still find it pretty inexplicable that a sinkhole of this reported magnitude would not extend, at least in some way, beyond the arbitrary boundaries of the house's foundation and be visible from outside of the home.

Original Message
Something about this story just doesn't add up.
Sure, sink holes happen...
Yes, the grieving brother seems sincere...
But:
Why no photos?
Why no video?
Why no rescue workers entering the home?
Why no attempt at retrieving the body?
