Man Disappears In Florida Sinkhole, A Florida man screamed for help and disappeared as a large sinkhole opened under his bedroom, his brother said Friday. No signs of life have been found.
Jeremy Bush heard a loud crash and screaming. He said it took him seconds to get to his brother Jeff’s room near midnight Thursday, but the earth had already swallowed him.
Jeremy Bush said he jumped into the hole and was quickly up to his neck in dirt.
“The floor was still giving in and the dirt was still going down, but I didn’t care. I wanted to save my brother,” he said. “But I just couldn’t do nothing.”
He added: “He was screaming my name. I could swear I heard him hollering my name to help him.”
An arriving law enforcement officer pulled him to safety. “I reached down and was able to actually able to get him by his hand and pull him out of the hole. The hole was collapsing. At that time, we left the house,” Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Deputy Douglas Duvall said.
“When he got there, there was no bedroom left,” Hillsborough County Fire Rescue spokeswoman Jessica Damico said. “There was no furniture. All he saw was a piece of the mattress sticking up.”
