Sinkhole, Florida Sinkhole | featured news

After a man was swallowed by a sinkhole in Tampa, Fla., there seemed to be new ones opening up all over the place, but experts say that’s just what sinkholes do.

The distraught brother of Jeff Bush, the man presumed dead after part of his home collapsed into a gaping Florida sinkhole last week, on Monday questioned whether rescue teams did enough initially to try to reach his brother beneath the mud and debris. "You see all this heavy equipment?" Jeremy Bush told a group of reporters."They could have tried harder to get my brother out of there."

Engineers returned to do more tests at a hole that had grown to 20 feet deep and 30 feet wide and that officials said was “seriously unstable.”
