FL Brandon, Sinkhole Swallows House, Man Trapped

[Show Me]

It is so terrible what happened to this man and his family he must have been so shocked at the horror of what has happened to him in the last minutes of his life. His family must be so upset and to not be able to give him a funeral and bury him properly is horrendous.

Yes not having the closure is awful. I pray the man's death was quick.

Do you have anything like sinkholes in Scotland?

Yes I hope so too. No nothing like sinkholes in Scotland thankfully I didn't know about them before this incident. We have landslides though up in the highlands which can close roads but they are very rare.

Here's a sinkhole, turned State Park in Gainesville, FL. If anyone ever gets a chance to visit, it's very interesting.

[Robinson, a neighbor] added that she felt it odd that her dog, a beagle named Muppet, refused to go in the backyard the previous night and Wednesday morning.

"I'm pretty certain Muppet knew something was going on," she said.
