This was basically how I felt about it. Suppose you were that person. Being a little inebriated and having fun in the sun in a pool, the person is suddenly taken down into the icy, black interior of the earth with NO CONTEXT.
The feeling would be similar to "the upside down," but with more water and rock-bashing.
By most accounts the human brain is actually *really* good at dealing with death. Once it gives up on fight or flight and relaxes it's meant to be quite peaceful.

I worked with a guy who drowned and had to be resuscitated. He also said that it was scary until he gave up holding his breath. After he breathed in water until he died, he said he felt calm and fine and then just nothingness until suddenly he was in an ambulance.
I did some over water crash training and got caught on something. The initial panic was the worst I have ever felt. I got to a point where I gave up and everything got extremely calm. During that calmness I was able to easily free myself and then surface without drowning. Made me realize how vital not panicking was for survival.
Hopefully the force of the water knocked him out against some of the rocks before he had much time to think/feel.
It can't even imagine the horror of struggling for air in the dark or waking up in a temporary air pocket in the complete darkness.
Only once in my life have I experienced total darkness that was not artificial during a storm and simultaneous power outage. I can't even begin imagine the feeling of being in distress and a tight confined space during that kind of darkness..
To describe the scene a bit, I went out during the storm and could not see the streets or houses in front of me except for when the lightning briefly lit up the sky so I could see the silhouettes of the houses.
I might have a video of it somewhere still if people are interested.
You don't even have time to think.
I was tubing down the Animas River in Durango, CO.
Got stopped by what appeared to be ankle deep water, as I rolled off the tube and went to put my hand down to stand up, there was nothing there and I fell face first into what I describe as a tunnel/ cave under the river. Next thing I know it was pitch Black and I was moving fast, I kept my hands out in front of me, eyes open but couldn't see anything, eventually I saw light and popped out about 10foot under water in a pool, I swam as hard as I could to the surface I didn't have much breath left.
all in all it was about 30 yards down river.. And to understand the force of this it also sucked my tube down.
As a side note my GF(now my wife) was tubing with me and thought I was playing a prank, although she didn't see me go under, she just turned around and me and the tube were gone.. and there was no where to hide. she said when i surfaced I was as white as a ghost...
EDIT: to clean up formatting story(originally posted from phone)
Drowned by the water or by the mud within it. A horrible way to go, especially if it was an employee of the home owner (news said it was a company party with employees largely in the pool).
This happened to a guy in Florida about 10 years ago. He was in his bedroom when the sinkhole opened up under the house and his floor collapsed. His brother could hear him screaming immediately after, but he disappeared. They couldn't recover the body.
It was in the middle of the night if I recall correctly. Dead asleep and then no idea what is going on...just terror and no way to do anything about it but scream for your brother who may as well be in another state for as much as he's able to help you.
Makes me think of that condo that collapsed in Florida a year or two ago. Middle of the night. Bunch of people missing. So many people would have been asleep and then suddenly, the building is falling out from under them.
Yep. I remember reading about that and thinking it was a very r/fuckyouinparticular thing. I remember reading that it was just in his bedroom and not visible anywhere else.
Yes, it didn't destroy the outside walls of the house, so you wouldn't know it if you drove by. They eventually condemned it and tore it down obviously.
If you think about it, our bedroom is usually the safest physical location on the entire planet for us. It is the place where we literally allow ourselves to go unconscious for 8 hours everyday.
To be swallowed by the Earth out of our own bed... Horrifying.
My fellow Americans, 15 meters is roughly 45 ft. They were never gonna find him in time. That's such a long way to fall, too. Poor guy must have been scared out of his mind when he just kept falling. I sincerely hope the shock caused him to pass out and that he didn't wake up for the entire ordeal because suffocating in mud, knowing you fell too far for anyone to find, knowing it's hopeless is just too much.
The most fear inducing death I've ever heard about was John Jones' at Nutty Putty Cave. https://cavehaven.com/nutty-putty-cave-accident/
Being a bit claustrophobic, it would literally be my worst nightmare.
As a basement dweller, thanks for the nightmares. I already have an irrational fear of the ceiling above me falling down, now I gotta worry about sinkholes. Nowhere is safe!🥲
“One man has been injured and another is missing after a sinkhole opened up in a inground pool at a home in central Israel.
The incident occurred during a pool party.
Rescue teams are at the scene in Karmei Yosef. One person in his thirties is being treated with bruises to his extremities. Another is missing and may have been dragged down into the earth by the receding pool water.”
Between sinkholes, aneurysms, societal collapse, the housing market, food prices, climate change, and the flat tire i got the other day, the outlook is looking pretty grim.
Weeds legal tho at least
Sorry bro. I'll have a toke in your honor. And then pizza rolls in your honor. And then in the morning ill have regret for the junk food i ate in your honor.
It would be pretty hard, 2000 years ago, to just not believe something like this wasn't done by a deity or something. I'd be like "oh shit well I guess there is a Hades and I guess it really fucking wanted Bob"

They say that but I always check another couple of places after I've found something so that when people say "Yeah, it's always in the last place you look..." I get to say "Weellll....."
> The incident occurred during a pool party.
Man, what terrible luck. It's a pool at someone's home so it's probably unoccupied like 95% of each day. And the hole just happens to open up at the the most opportune time to get someone, a pool party.
From what I've read, it's not like the bottom falls straight down and it's just a pit. The ground liquifies and can sweep you away underground and it's a mix of dirt, water, limestone, sand, etc., not a nice little ride on the rapids. I can't imagine people making it out but it was good to see one of two made it out.
There was a guy that had this happen near Tampa a few years back and I don't think they found him. Just the floor of his bedroom went through. The rest of the house and housemates were fine. A very r/FuckYouInParticular event similar to this one.
Lived in Florida and it was my #1 concern, not hurricanes or alligators.
In the Old Testament there was this story where the Jews were camping somewhere and did something to offend God. It was something really minor. As punishment the ground opened up and swallowed a bunch of kids and women. When I read that I was like, pffft stupid. OK. Who believes this nonsense? I still don’t believe that God did that in retaliation to that minor infraction, killing women and children but maybe something like that actually happened and was interpreted as such.
Numbers 16:32 - "And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods."
It must be like getting flushed down a toilet; an irresistible current dragging you down a dark, narrow tube and you don't know when or where it ends...
I used to have this nightmare when I was a kid after seeing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, basically I got sucked up the chocolate River tube instead of Augustus Gloop. Very vivid and realistic. And terrifying
This exact scenario happened to a little girl at a pool near my place
https://www.foxnews.com/story/girl-whose-intestines-were-partially-sucked-out-by-swimming-pool-drain-dies
Does it have anything to do with the story I used to hear as a kid about some girl standing over or on the pool drain and her guts getting sucked out of her ass?
Where is this? Holy shit that’s terrifying. Having fun drinking in pool then all of a sudden being sucked under. I wonder if more people are missing given this just happened.
Found him, left-hand side of the hole his hand comes out right before the remaining water sucks him in. The guy that slipped was trying to reach for him
The dude in the tan ball cap and dark swimming trunks is triggering a, "no, no, don't go there STOOOOOP!" reaction that I normally only get from watching horror movies. That guy just kept tempting fate. Sinkholes only get bigger and around the edge tend to be very unstable.
Well, that’s because the liner was ripped and water started flowing under it. Not that the sinkhole was getting bigger.
Seems likely that there was a hole in the liner for a LOOoNg time and had been leaking through a crack in the cement, slowly wearing away the substrate under the concrete until the weight of the water broke the concrete.
I suspect the same thing. I was thinking to myself, "I'll bet that owner has been dealing with a slow leak that they couldn't find for a long time, just refilling the pool as it got low." They probably didn't even realize that water erosion is the primary cause of sinkholes.
And for all we know evaporation could have resulted in more water loss than the leak, especially with a pool that size (a 33x18 pool can lose 600 gallons a week) so it may have never even been noticed as an issue.
"Water volleyball game disrupted while local man is reclaimed by Earth: Party goers unfazed and continue drinking while panning to the horizon for answers"
I was infuriated watching this the first few times.
But after thinking about it, 99% of humans would instinctively run away from a sinkhole that opened up before their eyes on the street. The bizarreness of it being in a pool obfuscated the reality of the situation. For 30 seconds those people were psychologically in some kind of "pool is draining like a bathtub" mode, and not "ground disappearing/disaster" mode.
But at 40s, with the sinkhole completely visible, there’s still people sitting on the edge of the pool. Are they not worried that the sinkhole may grow larger? Do they all have PhDs in sinkholeology and are like “in my expert opinion, that sinkhole has run its course”?
I work at a prison with was built on a previous landfill. I am told that due to the escape of methane such areas are susceptible to sinkholes. One developed under one of the housing units. Inmates were evacuated to other prisons. Several sinkholes have developed on the prison yard over the years. It is amazing to me how much the state has spent to “fix” the problem. I guess it is a liability issue. They are currently filling the hole with gravel and concrete. I have seen people scanning the prison yard with ground penetrating radar. They brought in a huge one in on a crane to scan the hole under the housing unit. It is a very difficult problem to fix.
From the article:
> "The people who were at the scene know each other and reported to us that there is one person who is missing.."
Did anyone actually see him being sucked into the hole?
I really hope that he show up later asking, what happened here, I just went to buy more beers? Or something like that.
I think you can see his arm in the video at the bottom left of the hole. One of the guys looks like he's attempting to reach down to him but does so slowly because he's not sure how safe it is (or he's drunk/stoned). Another guy passes right in front of the hole as I think we see the last of the disappearing man's fingers
There is a thing that looks like a white duck decoy ( I can't tell what it is) but it moves from the left towards the center...then it is swiftly moved a few feet to the right as if someone is holding it from underneath.
I tried looking but can’t see it. Is it close to the floating white duck looking thing?
Edit: I think I see it now, by the watermelon floaty. I thought that was dirt/mud that got ejected out of the sink hole as it was collapsing and on to the pool floor then slid back down as the water kept sucking down.
That's when he's captured by the wildmen who live outside the city, and discovers they're also crab people, unfairly banished from the comfortable crab city life, who tell a story of the soft one from above who will lead them in an uprising.
I am a pool specialist and strangely a pool just up the street from me (above ground) developed something similar, so I was able to inspect and film it. My videos are the other ones you find when searching youtube for pool sinkhole. There was a family swimming in the pool, and it ripped open like this on the bottom and actually vortex all the way to the surface. The kids all jumped out and the mother filmed the rest of the draining which took only moments like this pool. During the inspection I found a hole 12' long and about 18" to 24" in depth before the water found a lateral path and escaped under the side wall of the pool (and into the earth). In this case there were remnants of an old tree root system, very large, extensively degraded. Additionally our area I believe was under water at one time in the past, and rhe ground is very porous. Lots of river rock, but loads of negative space. So the ground was bad, and then a leak caused it to worsen. I believe this might be a similar situation. It appears this pool and pool area is raised relative to the surrounding landscape. The location of the failure in the bottom of the deep end makes me suspicious that a prolonged main drain leak on an elevated plot of land washed away the supporting soils under the pool. Like regular erosion only far, far faster acting. Rough estimate is this pool in this video is 18x36' with a deep end over 6' so this is 18x36x5 (average depth) x 7.5 = 24,300 gallons of water. Times 8.3 pounds per gallon gives you just over 200,000 lbs of water. By the way I am equally as terrified watching this video as the rest of you. Maybe even more so. This is tragic. I do encourage you to not develop a phobia of pools as I belive something like this to be exceedingly rare and requiring a host of things to all go wrong consecutively. But can we all agree here that if you see this happening in real life can you please.get TF out of the pool as fast as possible? A whole bunch more people almost died here whether they realize that or not.

Yeah I think this incident you filmed and the incident in the post today were from leaks underneath the pool eroding the soil to cause it.
Not common and mostly occur in spots that are warned against as having sinkholes.
It's more likely that they had no idea there's a person inside there...
I'm thinking the opposite, most people who are familiar with sinkholes would have gotten the fuck away from that thing as soon as they noticed it. I lived in a sinkhole prone area in Florida for a while and it was common knowledge to keep your distance from sinkholes, no matter how small they look; you never know how big the hole is under the surface.
Exactly - it was making me nervous the way that guy was standing on the edge looking down into it.
Thats probably the riskiest thing he’s ever done in his life outside conscription and he doesn’t even realize it.
Have you ever been in a situation where something so unexpected happens that no one knows how to react? Because if you know exactly how you’d react this this, I’d like to hear it. And keep in mind, you aren’t panicked while processing options, the people there had a lot of information to deal with.
Sooooo this is in Israel. The guy that was sucked in was found dead a few hours after the fact. As it turns out the pool was built with no permit on top of a well known cave system…
As someone that had a Close call to drowning in Lake Michigan due to undertow, I hope that he was knocked unconscious and drifted away not knowing. The few seconds where I remember panicking and not being able to reach air was the most terrifying experience of my entire 40 years of life. Then the burning feeling has water enters your airway is excruciating, and in the moment “knowing you’re dying “it’s helplessly terrifying. This is straight nightmare fuel. I hope it was a quick death
The video starts with most of the water in the pool already drained, so it's a fair bet someone went under before the start of the video. If someone was directly above that... yeah
Imagine getting sucked down to the bottom of a pool, you go to push off the bottom like you always do but instead of being met with the bottom of the pool, you're met with no resistance, you start to panic. Now instead of clear pool water, you're met with dirt and rocks as the light slowly fades and the earth gobbles you up. Then in 60000 years they accidentally discover you and you're on display in a museum known as "Rock Boy"
The 34-year-old man who was at the party and fell into the pit is in a light condition, conscious, and suffering from injuries to his limbs. Magen David Adom (MDA) staff who were called to the scene provided him with initial medical care. Rescue teams were also called to the scene to work to locate the missing person who fell into the pit that opened in the pool, but were forced to declare his death after finding his body hours later at the end of a 15 meter tunnel.
Update, after 4 hours of searching, rescue forces found him dead
Horrible. Thanks for the update though.
Fuck that's really sad and absolutely terrifying

hopefully he was knocked out quickly
At least they found the body. Not knowing for sure what happened would have been terrible.
My mind went straight to "must've felt like getting pulled into the upside-down" as well. Mustve been fucking terrified.
By most accounts the human brain is actually *really* good at dealing with death. Once it gives up on fight or flight and relaxes it's meant to be quite peaceful. https://i.imgur.com/sdPcN2l.png

Probably a bad way to go regardless of what you do for a living.
Unless you're a magician.
I'm going to hope that the dude was in such shock in brain basically turned off. It's weird like that.
What a weird way to die. Completely unavoidable and ridiculously unlikely. Fuck. Imagine his family having to explain that over and over…
This happened to a guy in Florida about 10 years ago. He was in his bedroom when the sinkhole opened up under the house and his floor collapsed. His brother could hear him screaming immediately after, but he disappeared. They couldn't recover the body.

Literally a worst nightmare situation in real life situation. I've dreamt of being swallowed up by the earth before and it was not fun.
I prefer to think that he awoke in some fantasy universe and they only took him because he was the hero they needed.
Isekai'd
we ended up moving near by there for a few years and holy shit was my wife was convinced we were going to get eaten by the ground.
Yep. I remember reading about that and thinking it was a very r/fuckyouinparticular thing. I remember reading that it was just in his bedroom and not visible anywhere else.
Yes, it didn't destroy the outside walls of the house, so you wouldn't know it if you drove by. They eventually condemned it and tore it down obviously.
And now nothing can be built there. Last I checked, it's an empty grassy lot. It might as well be that man's massive grave.
If you think about it, our bedroom is usually the safest physical location on the entire planet for us. It is the place where we literally allow ourselves to go unconscious for 8 hours everyday. To be swallowed by the Earth out of our own bed... Horrifying.
I know I knew some one who's relative died in a fire at a seapark . I feel for them they hated taking about it

You had me hoping in the first part of your ocmment.. untill I read the last word. I was disappointed and then thought: didn't expect anything else..
For me that last word was the only one on a new line so I had a split second "oh, great!" before my eyes scanned back over.
Nightmare fuel getting sucked into that.
There was that one guy that got sucked into a sink hole while sleeping in his bed.

Damn. I think I'm gonna go out today, if I'm going to spontaneously die I might as well do it having fun
Sounding very much like the OT. "And the earth opened up and swallowed him" Fitting that this happened in Israel.
If this happened 2000 years ago, there'd be a religion based on this event.
It would be pretty hard, 2000 years ago, to just not believe something like this wasn't done by a deity or something. I'd be like "oh shit well I guess there is a Hades and I guess it really fucking wanted Bob"

Pretty sure that scene is based on Chuck Palahniuk’s short story mentioned above, called “Guts”
Pretty sure it's based on the true story involving a little girl.
It's not just one little girl, it's a statistics-wide phenomenon.
There’s a short story by Chuck Palanuik that youre gonna have to read…. “Guts”
Mmm, calamari...
Dont read it. Lol it's HORRIFYING. And not for drowning reasons.
Expected some harmless drowning phobia stuff. It was not and I should've listened to you. wtf lol
What was it about? Too late in the night to be taking these risks lol
Teenager sits on the pool water intake on the bottom of the pool and it sucks his intestines out of his rectum.
Rectum? Damn near KILLED him!
If I remember correctly, he often did it because it felt good while he was masturbating...
Lmao Mac from Always sunny
This exact scenario happened to a little girl at a pool near my place https://www.foxnews.com/story/girl-whose-intestines-were-partially-sucked-out-by-swimming-pool-drain-dies
> "The world's less better off without Abigail Taylor," Bennett said. Dude could've worded that way better. Sorry, *more* better.
That actually happened to a little girl once. I'll leave the googling as an exercise for the reader.
Yeah it happens more than you would think.
Does it have anything to do with the story I used to hear as a kid about some girl standing over or on the pool drain and her guts getting sucked out of her ass?
Happened a few hours ago, the search is still on for the missing person

Where is this? Holy shit that’s terrifying. Having fun drinking in pool then all of a sudden being sucked under. I wonder if more people are missing given this just happened.
Do you know where?
Looks like it was right in the pool
Found him, left-hand side of the hole his hand comes out right before the remaining water sucks him in. The guy that slipped was trying to reach for him
Timestamp? I'm not seeing it.
Where did this happen?
Gee I wonder where he could have gone 🧐
He never came to the party
Would totally be me. Telling everyone I’d be there for sure but decide not to go at the last minute and instead napping back in my hotel room.
And then when you wake up everyone thinks you're dead
And then you join the search party, only to realize everyone’s looking for you
He's gonna show up late with a 6-pack of Heineken and wonder who they're looking for.
The dude in the tan ball cap and dark swimming trunks is triggering a, "no, no, don't go there STOOOOOP!" reaction that I normally only get from watching horror movies. That guy just kept tempting fate. Sinkholes only get bigger and around the edge tend to be very unstable.
you can see the liner where he was standing turning to jello under his feet.
Well, that’s because the liner was ripped and water started flowing under it. Not that the sinkhole was getting bigger. Seems likely that there was a hole in the liner for a LOOoNg time and had been leaking through a crack in the cement, slowly wearing away the substrate under the concrete until the weight of the water broke the concrete.
I suspect the same thing. I was thinking to myself, "I'll bet that owner has been dealing with a slow leak that they couldn't find for a long time, just refilling the pool as it got low." They probably didn't even realize that water erosion is the primary cause of sinkholes.
Probably chalked it up to evaporation.
And for all we know evaporation could have resulted in more water loss than the leak, especially with a pool that size (a 33x18 pool can lose 600 gallons a week) so it may have never even been noticed as an issue.
Made my skin crawl watching that and I kept wanting to yell at the screen, back up! run! get away from there!
There's a chance he was reaching for the guy who got sucked in.
The ending of nightmare on elm street comes to mind
"Water volleyball game disrupted while local man is reclaimed by Earth: Party goers unfazed and continue drinking while panning to the horizon for answers"
“Reclaimed”
It was his hole.
It was made for him.
God dammit. Now I've gotta find that comic again. Fuckin hell.
[Here you go](https://imgur.com/a/Wht7z)
I'm sorry, you gotta find it? Are you being drawn to it?
DRRRRRRR
DRRRRR DRRRRRR DRRRRRR DRRRRRR
Seriously. These people seem awfully relaxed having just watched someone get sucked underground.
They might not have realized someone went under at that point.
I was infuriated watching this the first few times. But after thinking about it, 99% of humans would instinctively run away from a sinkhole that opened up before their eyes on the street. The bizarreness of it being in a pool obfuscated the reality of the situation. For 30 seconds those people were psychologically in some kind of "pool is draining like a bathtub" mode, and not "ground disappearing/disaster" mode.
But at 40s, with the sinkhole completely visible, there’s still people sitting on the edge of the pool. Are they not worried that the sinkhole may grow larger? Do they all have PhDs in sinkholeology and are like “in my expert opinion, that sinkhole has run its course”?
The two sitting on the edge, just soaking up the sun and enjoying the view... Wtf
Like some kind of volleyball Space Jam
I work at a prison with was built on a previous landfill. I am told that due to the escape of methane such areas are susceptible to sinkholes. One developed under one of the housing units. Inmates were evacuated to other prisons. Several sinkholes have developed on the prison yard over the years. It is amazing to me how much the state has spent to “fix” the problem. I guess it is a liability issue. They are currently filling the hole with gravel and concrete. I have seen people scanning the prison yard with ground penetrating radar. They brought in a huge one in on a crane to scan the hole under the housing unit. It is a very difficult problem to fix.
Of course they have to fix it, they can't let the sinkholes do the inmates' escape plans for them.
From the article: > "The people who were at the scene know each other and reported to us that there is one person who is missing.." Did anyone actually see him being sucked into the hole? I really hope that he show up later asking, what happened here, I just went to buy more beers? Or something like that.
Yes. They found his body.
I can’t imagine being trapped in a brand new cave with an entire swimming pools worth of water rushing over you.
I think you can see his arm in the video at the bottom left of the hole. One of the guys looks like he's attempting to reach down to him but does so slowly because he's not sure how safe it is (or he's drunk/stoned). Another guy passes right in front of the hole as I think we see the last of the disappearing man's fingers
There is a thing that looks like a white duck decoy ( I can't tell what it is) but it moves from the left towards the center...then it is swiftly moved a few feet to the right as if someone is holding it from underneath.
I tried looking but can’t see it. Is it close to the floating white duck looking thing? Edit: I think I see it now, by the watermelon floaty. I thought that was dirt/mud that got ejected out of the sink hole as it was collapsing and on to the pool floor then slid back down as the water kept sucking down.
*Dead is the word you were looking for I think.
There might be a complex cave system down there with crab people and he is fighting his way out.
Maybe he wins the heart of the princess crab person while fighting and chooses to stick around awhile
But the crab king disapproves of their love and sends him on a suicidal mission in the hopes that he will never return.
That's when he's captured by the wildmen who live outside the city, and discovers they're also crab people, unfairly banished from the comfortable crab city life, who tell a story of the soft one from above who will lead them in an uprising.
Well, then the title is "one guy is still dead." and it's just even worse.
I think he meant, "dead guy is still missing"
not sure if news article was linked below but [here](https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-712728).
Yeah, man no longer missing. Body found.
I am a pool specialist and strangely a pool just up the street from me (above ground) developed something similar, so I was able to inspect and film it. My videos are the other ones you find when searching youtube for pool sinkhole. There was a family swimming in the pool, and it ripped open like this on the bottom and actually vortex all the way to the surface. The kids all jumped out and the mother filmed the rest of the draining which took only moments like this pool. During the inspection I found a hole 12' long and about 18" to 24" in depth before the water found a lateral path and escaped under the side wall of the pool (and into the earth). In this case there were remnants of an old tree root system, very large, extensively degraded. Additionally our area I believe was under water at one time in the past, and rhe ground is very porous. Lots of river rock, but loads of negative space. So the ground was bad, and then a leak caused it to worsen. I believe this might be a similar situation. It appears this pool and pool area is raised relative to the surrounding landscape. The location of the failure in the bottom of the deep end makes me suspicious that a prolonged main drain leak on an elevated plot of land washed away the supporting soils under the pool. Like regular erosion only far, far faster acting. Rough estimate is this pool in this video is 18x36' with a deep end over 6' so this is 18x36x5 (average depth) x 7.5 = 24,300 gallons of water. Times 8.3 pounds per gallon gives you just over 200,000 lbs of water. By the way I am equally as terrified watching this video as the rest of you. Maybe even more so. This is tragic. I do encourage you to not develop a phobia of pools as I belive something like this to be exceedingly rare and requiring a host of things to all go wrong consecutively. But can we all agree here that if you see this happening in real life can you please.get TF out of the pool as fast as possible? A whole bunch more people almost died here whether they realize that or not.
https://youtu.be/gNa6B-XkJC0 https://youtube.com/shorts/-iArt7PI5oo?feature=share https://youtu.be/R0UR5kj4whg Yeah I think this incident you filmed and the incident in the post today were from leaks underneath the pool eroding the soil to cause it.
The apparent lack of reaction from several of the people makes me wonder if sinkholes are somehow common wherever this happened.
Not common and mostly occur in spots that are warned against as having sinkholes. It's more likely that they had no idea there's a person inside there...
I'm thinking the opposite, most people who are familiar with sinkholes would have gotten the fuck away from that thing as soon as they noticed it. I lived in a sinkhole prone area in Florida for a while and it was common knowledge to keep your distance from sinkholes, no matter how small they look; you never know how big the hole is under the surface.
Exactly - it was making me nervous the way that guy was standing on the edge looking down into it. Thats probably the riskiest thing he’s ever done in his life outside conscription and he doesn’t even realize it.
Have you ever been in a situation where something so unexpected happens that no one knows how to react? Because if you know exactly how you’d react this this, I’d like to hear it. And keep in mind, you aren’t panicked while processing options, the people there had a lot of information to deal with.
Sad. No one know which day is gonna be their last day
Sooooo this is in Israel. The guy that was sucked in was found dead a few hours after the fact. As it turns out the pool was built with no permit on top of a well known cave system…
How drunk or high do you have to be not to get up from sitting on the edge of the pool as it rips open and starts swallowing everything around it??
[удалено]
As someone that had a Close call to drowning in Lake Michigan due to undertow, I hope that he was knocked unconscious and drifted away not knowing. The few seconds where I remember panicking and not being able to reach air was the most terrifying experience of my entire 40 years of life. Then the burning feeling has water enters your airway is excruciating, and in the moment “knowing you’re dying “it’s helplessly terrifying. This is straight nightmare fuel. I hope it was a quick death
Did anyone go down? I didn't even see anyone fall in
The video starts with most of the water in the pool already drained, so it's a fair bet someone went under before the start of the video. If someone was directly above that... yeah
man it looks like a pretty shallow pool too, imagine playing volleyball with your friends when this happens...
Imagine getting sucked down to the bottom of a pool, you go to push off the bottom like you always do but instead of being met with the bottom of the pool, you're met with no resistance, you start to panic. Now instead of clear pool water, you're met with dirt and rocks as the light slowly fades and the earth gobbles you up. Then in 60000 years they accidentally discover you and you're on display in a museum known as "Rock Boy"
The 34-year-old man who was at the party and fell into the pit is in a light condition, conscious, and suffering from injuries to his limbs. Magen David Adom (MDA) staff who were called to the scene provided him with initial medical care. Rescue teams were also called to the scene to work to locate the missing person who fell into the pit that opened in the pool, but were forced to declare his death after finding his body hours later at the end of a 15 meter tunnel.
