A central Florida man was still missing and feared dead early today
after a sinkhole opened under his home Thursday night, swallowing him in
his bed.
As hours passed overnight and rescuers and family lost
hope of seeing 36-year-old Jeff Bush pulled from the ground alive, the
sinkhole continued to grow, officials said.
“The hole has gotten
deeper,” geotechnical engineer Larry Madrid said at a news conference
Friday evening. “We can’t get into the building because of the potential
for sudden collapse.”
The continued instability of the ground
slowed engineers and kept evacuees in the Tampa-area neighborhood from
returning to their homes.
“We’re really handicapped and paralyzed, and we really can’t do a whole lot more than wait,” Madrid said.
