The sinkhole said to be 100 feet wide opened up without warning, sucking the man who began desperately calling for his brother’s aid as he became trapped in the ensuing rubble in his bedroom.
The incident said to have happened just before 11pm Thursday night had firefighters desperately trying to retrieve the man who by now was no where in sight. At the time firefighters went on to place listening devices and cameras in the hole but by Friday morning no contact with the man had been made, with officials now fearing that the man was dead.
Fire rescue spokeswoman Jessica Damico went on to say that the sinkhole was 30 feet across at the surface, with engineers estimating that below the surface it could be as wide as 100 feet and 50 feet deep.
