Florida man swallowed by sinkhole under bedroom

Seffner, Florida: In a matter of seconds, the earth opened under Jeff Bush's Florida bedroom and swallowed him up like something out of a horror movie. About the only thing left was the TV cable

Jeremy Bush said he jumped into the hole but couldn't see his brother and had to be rescued himself by a sheriff's deputy who reached out and pulled him to safety as the ground crumbled around him.



"The floor was still giving in and the dirt was still going down, but I didn't care. I wanted to save my brother,'' Jeremy Bush said through tears Friday in a neighbor's yard. "But I just couldn't do nothing.''

He added, "I could swear I heard him hollering my name to help him.''

Officials lowered equipment into the sinkhole and saw no signs of life, said Hillsborough County Fire Rescue spokeswoman Jessica Damico.
