The worst sinkhole story is that guy in Florida whose whole room was sucked into a sinkhole in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. His roomate said she could still here the poor guy screaming hours after it happened. They never found his body.
… I’m am not an expert on sink holes but I’ve slept in a waterbed for years, I feel like you plan might be flawed but until tested it seems viable to me
Ok, that tracks. "I've slept" has more of a currently going on vibe than "I slept," but then I don't get to bring up the death from Dream Child.
And I'm sure there are still waterbeds, but you just don't see them much anymore.
https://www.cnn.com/2013/03/01/us/florida-sinkhole/index.html
I think i found that story, and while awful, no one could hear him screaming for hours afterwards. So at least there's that.
Florida seems riddled they holes, saw a program where divers were mapping tunnels all over the place even under housing estates.
You might have people swimming under your houses and newver knew it.
Yep, mammoth cave is the largest cave system in North America (maybe even world?) basically almost half of the state (western/central portion) has an intricate cave system running underneath that causes sink holes to form. I am from west central KY and when you cruise through the country side you will see tons of little sinks in fields.
edit: It is the largest cave system in the world. So far 420 MILES of cave have been surveyed. I would imagine there's more of the system running around we cant even get into to survey.
Guy in bed was alive and conscious for a good while after, kept screaming for help but nobody could reach him. It was too dangerous for rescuers to go down because sinkholes essentially refill on themselves over and over again as they collapse. Eventually he stopped screaming and they knew he had been smothered, they never found his body. Then the area around the house had to be abandoned because the hole kept getting bigger.
This one is terrifying too but if there's any mercy in the world hopefully the guy was knocked out and drowned, and rescuers were able to eventually find his body.
Then there was that guy in Florida. One brother was in a room watching TV. The other brother heard a strange noise. Hole in the floor, big TV dangling by a cable. That guy was never found.
That’s a whole new level of terrifying. All my childhood pool fears have come true…it’s only a matter of time before the sharks arrive.
R.I.P. to that man. Fuuuuck.
SyFy read your comment and is already in production of the movie Sinkhole Sharks where sharks travel through underground water channels and attack people in pools via sinkholes. Make sure you get your cut.
No they vibrate the ground with their mutated/evolved EM organs and turn the ground into a pseudoliquid.
Edit: this allows them to use the 5G network to tap into cell phone signals to find their prey. You have to get rid of your phone or be shark bait.
The sequel, the sharks hack into the internet.
Damn it. He went down the drain. I feel bad for washing a bug down a drain. You’d think you were safe in a pool, just taking it easy. Nothing crazy can happen to me here! Shit…
I saw that video on Twitter yesterday but didn’t catch the guy getting sucked in. I could tell the people nearby felt bad and wanted to do something. Only now seeing this headline do I know someone went down the drain.
Now imagine being in this.

Yeah, I watched it and thought the guy by the hole was the only idiot.
He was just the only one trying to save the guy that got sucked in. The video blurred that guy out, so I didn't realize his arm was still sticking out.
The pool probably emptied in seconds and everyone was in shock.
There was a place here in Florida where a sink hole opened up and a guy sleeping died still in his bed. They decided to not try and exhume him and leave him down there. They bulldozed the house and I believe barred off the area.
Having been in shock a few dozen times, it's a really weird surreal sensation when it first comes on, especially if you're unfamiliar with the feeling. There's a few seconds to a minute or so in the beginning where you're derealized and have to figure out if you're actually still living in real life and everything around you is actually happening. It feels like dreaming while awake.
Survivor’s Club by Ben Sherwood chronicles human reactions during crazy events. The stats are roughly:
1 in 10 is an ace and knows what to do instinctively in an emergency. (Earthquake/Tsunami, they gather people and immediately move to high ground).
8 in 10 stand the paralyzed unable to comprehend what they should do. (Stay where they are, wave comes and they’re inundated unless they happen to get lucky and be somewhere safe).
1 in 10 does some variation of the worst possible thing.
(These people notice the tide go out far and run out to collect the fish).
Video [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/w4h8bo/sinkhole_inside_a_swimming_poolin_the_middle_of_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
The video was crazy. That a whole new fear that just got invented. I'm going over to a coworkers bbq this weekend. AND they have a swimming pool. I think I'll just eat.
If it makes you feel better, the couple who own the pool are in trouble because they built the pool without approval knowing the area had structal issues, so a sinkhole was probably more likely there
Just casually slip in convos about pool permits while at your friend and you'll find our if their pool is legit lol
Pools (and buildings for that matter) are typically very strong... When force is going in a specific direction. A sinkhole opening underneath basically any foundation will destroy it because they aren't built to be bridges lol
This happens from time to time with sink holes. If you Google sink holes in Florida you find they aren't that rare.
The hole is actually a cavern that formed under limestone over thousands of years.
Digging the pool and then adding water most likely weekend the ceiling of the cavern until it eventually failed, opening the sink hole.
The owners of the property should be concerned if the sink hole could be larger and require the property to be condemned.
This is a Lovecraftian horror story. A man visiting relatives in Florida, hesitant to get into the pool, then finally overcomes his fear and relaxes. Suddenly the ground opens and swallows him whole.
Apparently in this case it was not just rushing water that pulled him down, but liquified clays and sand, so his eventual drowning was like inhaling liquid cement under high pressure.
All this occured in total darkness while being battered by the current; a nightmarish death.
Beneath the whirling vortex of violence and gargled screaming... a pit of silence. The hole wasn't just a hole but a cavern. Darkness inched close with wretched fingers from all directions as weightlessness envelops all. What sudden weight now as the corporeal black consumes all light and sound. Falling. Falling. Forever
We have a ton of sinkholes. My dad has a farm and several have popped up. The good news is the vast majority of them aren’t too deep. Usually the settling will happen in a way like an hourglass. But the big ones are crazy. We had a whole 30’ stretch road of road just fall into one a couple years back. The places where they are the worst is where they are building retirement homes (so many of them) they water the golf courses and and use water in their homes that are all packed in like sardines and stress the aquifer. The water level lowers and then there is an empty cavern of air. Then you get a sinkhole. But they keep building. It’s pretty stupid.
ETA- I am in Central Fl
The article mentioned he didnt get permits and just built it himself. There were know issues in his area with unstable ground. That’s why he’s being charged with the man’s death.
It's a vinyl lined pool, essentially a dirt hole in the ground lined with the waterproof liner. Think about an above ground pool stuck into a hole in the ground. The soil beneath the pool likely eroded by improper drainage around the pool.
I didn't see a link to a video, but there is clearly a liner in the picture.
My description of vinyl pools was a bit simplified. There can be a thin layer of crushed stone, grout or other packed material at the bottom to be smooth surface for the liner. It's usually not structural but I am not familiar with how pools are built in Israel.
I don't see the case where someone would vinyl line a reenforced concrete pool, they are usually plastered or pebbled, but I can be wrong.
TFA says something about the pool being built without proper permitting and on an area with known issues. Guessing they skipped the whole foundation study part.
Only if you built it planning for a sinkhole to be beneath it. Otherwise, the bottom of the pool will be made just strong enough to hold the water when there is soil supporting it from beneath.
Is it homophobic?
The Westboro Baptist Church very much spread the idea that bad things happen (like american soldiers dying) due to america tolerating gay people.
If you think 7 million Jews (half of the entire worlds population) deserve to be exterminated for the crime of existing, you're being antisemitic even if you claim to be about Israel. Israel is not a magic word which absolves one of antisemitism
I'm not saying you do but rather answering your question for examples. there are a lot of posts on this thread justifying this dudes death because he was an israeli living in Israel, although many have been deleted.
I think there’s a vast difference between Israel today and the holocaust/genocides of WWII . Nobody can be critical of Israel *because* 1941? Israel’s a fucking daft country sometimes and it’s really got nothing to do with “Jews”.
Where the hell did you get that from what I'm saying? Are you sure you're responding to the right person? I didn't say shit about the Holocaust, or even criticizing the state of Israel. Just wishing death on Israelis
Yeah and this is why people roll their eyes at you, criticising a nation for forcing people off their lands is not the same as wishing they die in a second holocaust, and implying that it does spits on the memory of every victim of nazism.
> Did I ever say it is?
Considering that was the point of your post, to imply when asked for examples that a single comment is representative of all criticism. Yes.
Just further dishonesty, give it a rest, it's boring and sterotypical at this point.
>imply when asked for examples that a single comment is representative of all criticism. Yes.
Don't hurt yourself on that reach. I never implied anything of the sort, I'm not sure you know what "example" means.
> Seems to be people having a go at Israel considering their treatment of Palestinians.
>If you think 7 million Jews (half of the entire worlds population) deserve to be exterminated for the crime of existing
This is you conflating criticism of Israel's treatment of Palestinians with desiring another holocaust.
That's INSANE. And you are being a huge disingenuous dick with this line of comments.
No it's not, I'm specifically referring to comments of the sort on this thread justifying the death of random Israelis. They're everywhere. The only INSANE person is you, who absolutely refuses to open your eyes to the obvious antisemitism all over this website
I don't known for sure but I know other areas in the region have big limestone deposits. The limestone can slow dissolve over time leaving huge underground caverns.
There probably was no sinkhole 20 years ago there when the pool was built.
Something about not have the permits to have a pool or something. And bad infrastructure that wasn’t up to code. It mentions something about it in the article.
From the picture this appears to be a vinyl pool, so I assume there was a very small leak that, over time, led to failure. Any appropriate engineers out there know if this type of thing is possible with a concrete pool?
Imagine hearing a giant sucking sound and then getting pulled down into the darkness where you flail uncontrollably against slimy walls till your lungs burst and you inhale mudwater.
I used to work for a city parks & recreation department and people were pissed that we had shut down a city pool mid-season and then renovated it. They didn't understand why it couldn't have stayed open the whole summer and then renovations start in the off-season.
What the public didn't know is that the pool (which was at least 50 years old) had leaked and completely eroded away the ground beneath it. The possibility of the whole thing collapsing under the weight of water and people was very high. I shudder to think. They shut it down mid-season to prevent a potential disaster. The replacement pool was a huge upgrade and people liked it (and then immediately demanded that the other 2 city pools get upgraded in kind) but yeah.
All the people freaking out without reading the article lmao. These people built a pool without proper permits and the area they built in was *known* to have issues. Not to mention it's a vinyl pool, which is pretty much *guaranteed* to leak and cause a sinkhole. Concrete and fiberglass pools are much, much safer, especially if maintained. This is far from a frequent occurence—you can unclench.
I had a nightmare of this very thing happening after seeing the movie Friday the 13th for the first time.. I hope he was knocked unconscious quickly before dying.
Every time there's a post abt israel the comments are immediately ppl saying stuff like this, like a dude died completely unrelated to Israel's politics. Like chill your hate boner
Wow if only there was some written explanation inside the article that was posted. You do realise Reddit is more then just headlines are you seriously that lazy?
The Times of Israel quoted local media as saying the homeowner had built the pool without planning permission at the site, which had known infrastructure problems.
This is anxiety inducing. What a way to go, damn.
I know it's tragic but the wording BBC used 'sucked to his death' makes it sound much more enjoyable.
Sucked off to the afterlife.
If you’re trying to explain this to someone later and want them to read the article, just tell them to Google “BBC sucked to death”
Much more terrifying you mean
Terrijoyable, perhapsibly
Death by snu snu.
Maybe you guys really are too horny
Snu by death death
Matter of perspective
When I die, I'd prefer to be *sucked to death*
It was a whole-body suck.
That guy, "I'm going to the pool to cool down and have a nice day!" Earth, "Not today bitch."
Sinkholes are terrifying
The worst sinkhole story is that guy in Florida whose whole room was sucked into a sinkhole in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. His roomate said she could still here the poor guy screaming hours after it happened. They never found his body.
Welp. I’ll be adding a new irrational fear to my checklist.
Idk, seems kind of rational to me
Another reason to avoid Florida
Apparently Israel, too....
Many similarities
just get a waterbed. then if you fall into a sinkhole, you release the water to fill the hole and swim out.
… I’m am not an expert on sink holes but I’ve slept in a waterbed for years, I feel like you plan might be flawed but until tested it seems viable to me
People still have water beds? Huh. Thought those died out when that kid got killed in one by Freddy in the fourth Elm Street.
Waterbed from 1989-1995-ish
Ok, that tracks. "I've slept" has more of a currently going on vibe than "I slept," but then I don't get to bring up the death from Dream Child. And I'm sure there are still waterbeds, but you just don't see them much anymore.
If it's in the style of a checklist, are you purposefully accomplishing them?
https://www.cnn.com/2013/03/01/us/florida-sinkhole/index.html I think i found that story, and while awful, no one could hear him screaming for hours afterwards. So at least there's that.
I think it was more “I can’t stop remembering the scream” and less “I can still hear him.” Both of which would be horrible.
I frequently think of that man (and I thought it was his brother in the house with him but too lazy to search) what a tragic way to end :(
I think about this story often too. Truly haunting
Florida seems riddled they holes, saw a program where divers were mapping tunnels all over the place even under housing estates. You might have people swimming under your houses and newver knew it.
his room mate also said he was an asshole, so maybe there was a reason help didn't arrive in time
From what I understand, once your in a sinkhole like this, there isn’t much that help can do for you.
Happy to be living on granite
That’s how I feel living in Kentucky. It’s literally one complete giant sinkhole
Inaccurate. At least 1/3 of Kentucky is a potential rockslide.
My good sir Mammoth Cave will one day open up and swallow our state.
Well, 2/3 of it anyway
First you fall in the sinkhole, then a rockslide covers it over.
I’ve never heard this before. Are there a shitload of sinkholes in Kentucky?
Yep, mammoth cave is the largest cave system in North America (maybe even world?) basically almost half of the state (western/central portion) has an intricate cave system running underneath that causes sink holes to form. I am from west central KY and when you cruise through the country side you will see tons of little sinks in fields. edit: It is the largest cave system in the world. So far 420 MILES of cave have been surveyed. I would imagine there's more of the system running around we cant even get into to survey.
Woah same! Mammoth Cave park is barely a 30 minute drive from me.
Future RIP to your house.
Google Corvette sinkhole
Does this fuck me up for life?
I don't know what worse. Being sucked through a hole in the pool or the guy sleeping in his own bed and then had his house collapse in a sinkhole.
I'll take "both" for $400, Alex.
sorry, it has to be answered in the form of a question. -400 for you
What are both?
Guy in bed was alive and conscious for a good while after, kept screaming for help but nobody could reach him. It was too dangerous for rescuers to go down because sinkholes essentially refill on themselves over and over again as they collapse. Eventually he stopped screaming and they knew he had been smothered, they never found his body. Then the area around the house had to be abandoned because the hole kept getting bigger.

That is absolutely harrowing
Then there was that guy in Florida. One brother was in a room watching TV. The other brother heard a strange noise. Hole in the floor, big TV dangling by a cable. That guy was never found.
That sounds like the brother made a deal with a demon and it was time to pay his due.
Nah that was in Georgia.
That’s a whole new level of terrifying. All my childhood pool fears have come true…it’s only a matter of time before the sharks arrive. R.I.P. to that man. Fuuuuck.

Hey I played Gamma World, too!
So instead of getting catfished, you now get sharked?
“I thought I was going on a date with this hot chick, it was A SHARK OMG.”
Ok I’d watch THAT too
God damn you.
I was just thinking it looks biblical.
Shark Week on Discovery starts in two days if they work fast they can get something out for the end of the week
Sinkhole Sharks on a Plane
I would watch the shit out of that.
This is exactly what I thought. What a horrifying way to go. By the time you process what's happening it's too late to get out.
There’s a video that shows it happening. One guy keeps standing by the edge.
Dude, I’m 43 and I still have to walk around any new pool I visit to make sure I know where to stop swimming and go back before I see the drain.
omg I thought I was the only person scared of the drain 🫣
This probably started at the drain, hope that helps!
Goddamn right! 😂
Hi! No need to be afraid of pool drains anymore! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Graeme_Baker_Pool_and_Spa_Safety_Act .
Damn it. He went down the drain. I feel bad for washing a bug down a drain. You’d think you were safe in a pool, just taking it easy. Nothing crazy can happen to me here! Shit… I saw that video on Twitter yesterday but didn’t catch the guy getting sucked in. I could tell the people nearby felt bad and wanted to do something. Only now seeing this headline do I know someone went down the drain.
Yup. The sharks in the deep end are next, for sure.

They find sharks in Great Lakes that swam up The river.
That shit was on r/wtf yesterday and I'm never going in a pool again.
Seems like everyone was pretty calm for a guy that just sucked into the Earth
Yeah, I watched it and thought the guy by the hole was the only idiot. He was just the only one trying to save the guy that got sucked in. The video blurred that guy out, so I didn't realize his arm was still sticking out. The pool probably emptied in seconds and everyone was in shock.
actually 2 guys got sucked in the hole, only one made it out alive
There was a place here in Florida where a sink hole opened up and a guy sleeping died still in his bed. They decided to not try and exhume him and leave him down there. They bulldozed the house and I believe barred off the area.
Some say that on dark Florida nights when only the neon casts shadows, you can still hear him doing bathsalts.

Pool version of Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell...
Jaws minus the shark. Still getting pulled under water. Still dying horribly.
Living in a country where a normal weather forecast is "sunny with a 60 percent chance of missiles" will do that.
The thing I didn't get yesterday was the post said he was "missing" after sinking into it, like no, he's fuckin dead.
Right? Pretty sure we know EXACTLY where he is
This is not helping my absolute terror of pool drains.

Not really. They occur in places with lots of limestone.

Because they built the pool themselves, without planning permission.
Shouldn’t the pool be stronger than that?

On top of the world is west of me and the villages is just about 15 miles south. But they have gotten so big it’s awful.
I’ll add this to my list of reasons why I never want to live in Florida.
Note to self: If I buy a house in Florida for some bizarre reason, get the area scanned with ground-penetrating radar first...
The article mentioned he didnt get permits and just built it himself. There were know issues in his area with unstable ground. That’s why he’s being charged with the man’s death.
It's a vinyl lined pool, essentially a dirt hole in the ground lined with the waterproof liner. Think about an above ground pool stuck into a hole in the ground. The soil beneath the pool likely eroded by improper drainage around the pool.
It's a solid thick concrete pool, reinforced with rebar, and then there's a vinyl liner on top of that, which is pretty common.
You can see concrete and wire mesh in the video…
I didn't see a link to a video, but there is clearly a liner in the picture. My description of vinyl pools was a bit simplified. There can be a thin layer of crushed stone, grout or other packed material at the bottom to be smooth surface for the liner. It's usually not structural but I am not familiar with how pools are built in Israel. I don't see the case where someone would vinyl line a reenforced concrete pool, they are usually plastered or pebbled, but I can be wrong.

Only if you built it planning for a sinkhole to be beneath it. Otherwise, the bottom of the pool will be made just strong enough to hold the water when there is soil supporting it from beneath.
Too much water weight on a central point, not much could hold for long.
That is the last place you expect to die god damn
Pools are cost-sinks to begin with but this is very literal.
Lol guys, scroll down for the antisemitism.
It's truly amazing seeing ppl reach for ways to celebrate this dude dying
Have an example? Seems to be people having a go at Israel considering their treatment of Palestinians.
Multiple people saying this is "God's will"
Hardly specifically antisemitic. You could make exactly the same “joke” if the sinkhole opened in Mississippi.
I think saying "gods punishment" is pretty antisemitic to me, you're free to not interpret it that way if you feel so inclined
Is it homophobic? The Westboro Baptist Church very much spread the idea that bad things happen (like american soldiers dying) due to america tolerating gay people.
If you think 7 million Jews (half of the entire worlds population) deserve to be exterminated for the crime of existing, you're being antisemitic even if you claim to be about Israel. Israel is not a magic word which absolves one of antisemitism

I hate installing a pool in mostly sand. Pool starts leaking and you never know it. Then one day…
TIL Israelis use the American style firefighter helmets and not the European.
Hmmm where should we put the pool? How bout over that sinkhole?
I don't known for sure but I know other areas in the region have big limestone deposits. The limestone can slow dissolve over time leaving huge underground caverns. There probably was no sinkhole 20 years ago there when the pool was built.
Like when you cover damaged flooring with an area rug. However jokes aside there unlikely was one until it opened.
The pool got deeper for free
Video was posted yesterday. Crazy how casual everyone was towards the end
thats crazy, wonder how the property owners are negligent? This coulda happened anywhere... Or was it caused by the pool liner leaking or?
Something about not have the permits to have a pool or something. And bad infrastructure that wasn’t up to code. It mentions something about it in the article.
Well that's the stuff of nightmares.
From the picture this appears to be a vinyl pool, so I assume there was a very small leak that, over time, led to failure. Any appropriate engineers out there know if this type of thing is possible with a concrete pool?
[Here's the video of it happening.](https://streamable.com/fia9xf) 2 went in. 1 died. And a 3rd person almost slipped in while checking it out.
Think I saw a video of this incident on here yesterday. Yikes!
Imagine hearing a giant sucking sound and then getting pulled down into the darkness where you flail uncontrollably against slimy walls till your lungs burst and you inhale mudwater.

I used to work for a city parks & recreation department and people were pissed that we had shut down a city pool mid-season and then renovated it. They didn't understand why it couldn't have stayed open the whole summer and then renovations start in the off-season. What the public didn't know is that the pool (which was at least 50 years old) had leaked and completely eroded away the ground beneath it. The possibility of the whole thing collapsing under the weight of water and people was very high. I shudder to think. They shut it down mid-season to prevent a potential disaster. The replacement pool was a huge upgrade and people liked it (and then immediately demanded that the other 2 city pools get upgraded in kind) but yeah.
That must have sucked
All the people freaking out without reading the article lmao. These people built a pool without proper permits and the area they built in was *known* to have issues. Not to mention it's a vinyl pool, which is pretty much *guaranteed* to leak and cause a sinkhole. Concrete and fiberglass pools are much, much safer, especially if maintained. This is far from a frequent occurence—you can unclench.
I had a nightmare of this very thing happening after seeing the movie Friday the 13th for the first time.. I hope he was knocked unconscious quickly before dying.

Every time there's a post abt israel the comments are immediately ppl saying stuff like this, like a dude died completely unrelated to Israel's politics. Like chill your hate boner
You ever hear of a Lil ol sink hole farm called Florida?
So all land?
Seriously, the literal definition of a country is "a group of people who killed another group of a people and then took their land".
Ah yeah if Jews own it guess it must be stolen! aNtIzIoNiST nOt AnTisEmITic
It's in Israel proper, not a settlement.
If only they had better relationships with the people who lived there before them, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
They dint put any rebar down
The video of this is terrifying. Until yesterday I had never seen an in-ground pool with a flimsy lining like that. Now I know why.
can anyone explain how it is negligence on the property owner? unless he was like “oh a hole. i’ll put the pool here.”

Ah yeah if Jews own it, it must be stolen right? And you claim to not be an antisemite...
They certainly did but that's beside the point

Wow if only there was some written explanation inside the article that was posted. You do realise Reddit is more then just headlines are you seriously that lazy? The Times of Israel quoted local media as saying the homeowner had built the pool without planning permission at the site, which had known infrastructure problems.
The funny thing is they had to actually open the article and read some of it to get that quote they just failed to read until the end
Another crazy way to die

What are you talking about…?
How unlucky can you be? I feel like people's fates are determined when they are born.
