Why no attempt at retrieving the body? Because in Merica!, no evidence, proof, or attempt is needed any longer. A news crew, some areal footage, content of similar situations and..... cut. Thats how we do it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34290394 Puerto Rico 03/02/2013 07:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks. It's been driving me crazy why this is not even being asked or explained by the media. Any good news director would be chomping at the bit for a "money shot" like this one. Well if they are going to destroy the house You will know if there was a sinkhole underneath, if after doing this, there is no sinkhole, then it was an hoax, for properly disappear Jeff Bush for uncertain purposes.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34585699 the level of paranoia can be astounding. You are probably right, there will be. And it probably is too unsafe...but not even an attempt at some kind of representation? A blurry shot from one of those crane camera's? Or pix of the crane cameras going in? Or a graphic depiction? That's not paranoia, it's common sense. Logical thinking. Critical thinking. Something we are being subconsciously trained not to do. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 35297231 United States 03/02/2013 08:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Florida is highly prone to sinkholes because there are caverns below ground of limestone, a porous rock that easily dissolves in water. "You can almost envision a piece of Swiss cheese," said Taylor Yarkosky, a sinkhole expert from Brooksville, Fla. "Any house in Florida could be in that same situation." A sinkhole near Orlando grew to 400 feet across in 1981 and devoured five sports cars, most of two businesses, a three-bedroom house and the deep end of an Olympic-size swimming pool. More than 500 sinkholes have been reported in Hillsborough County alone since the government started keeping track in 1954, according to the state's environmental agency. On Saturday, engineers from local firm Bracken Engineering used hydraulic drills to probe the ground around the Seffner home, Damico said. Workers initially used radar to try to determine the ground's density but switched to the more sophisticated hydraulic probes, she said. So far, they're finding a spreading sinkhole that could potentially swallow more homes. [link to www.firstcoastnews.com] |

Imagine if that man is still alive floating... How the hell is that not a single rescuer attached to a heavy car with a strong cord try to enter the hole? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34290394 Right. We've seen videos of rescue people and volunteers pulling people out of quicksand at the beach and roaring flooding water... Is this situation different? |

Quoting: BooBooKitty Someone on another thread had the coordinates I think. That would be great if you got some kind of pictures, but be careful! (not necessarily because of the ground, but of the security personnel) You could probably sell the photos and make yourself some money because the media has practically nothing at this point and I think this is going to turn into a hotter story than many realize. |
