WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Sinkholes

Sinkholes are the worst. 36-year-old Florida man Jeffrey Bush is presumed dead after a sinkhole swallowed his bedroom near Tampa this month. And last week, an Illinois man survived an 18ft (5.4m) fall inside a sinkhole while he was golfing. Mark Mihal was investigating an unusual depression when the earth gave way on the 14th hole of the fairway in Waterloo, Illinois. Friends managed to bring the mortgage broker to safety with a rope, and he escaped with only a sore shoulder. Mr Mihal said he felt lucky to survive the "absolutely crazy" accident, but watch out because you just never know - you may well be reading this while on unstable ground. It could only be a matter of seconds before the ground falls out right from under you.
