What a nightmare.

[stevio]

Very,very wierd.

[Rebelbase]

There is only one thing that can clear a swimming pool faster.

DOODY!

The Muslims have dug thousands of tunnels into Israel.

This was probably a tunnel under the pool.

[Honest Nigerian]

That was the lane in which Mr Lia Thomas was scheduled to swim.

It might be one of those prefab fiberglass pools and the subsoil wasn’t compacted enough.

[Chickensoup]

there was a part where the water was red

“Wow. How about the idiot who keeps leaning over it looking in? Potential Darwin Award winner.”

Very Stupid comment! He might have lost someone very close.

Wow. How about the idiot who keeps leaning over it looking in? Potential Darwin Award winner.

Maybe a relative of whoever got sucked down into it? Wouldn't you try to help?

[al_c]

What a nightmare!

" wonder if it was one of those resorts by the Dead Sea."

Not really that close to the Dead Sea. The title says "Karmei Yosef", which is in the middle of Israel. It's a tiny little town.

It's been a grape growing area for 3500 years.

Looks like one person is missing, presumed dead.

The area IS on limestone and filled with carsts and caves. I would suspect the pool had been leaking and weakened the roof of a carst. This is a spectacular cave reasonably close:

Well, that takes the vinyl liner type off of the list of options for the pool I want to build.

[FamiliarFace]

Omg, you’re right! They’ve blurred the person out. I think he tried to jump out against it for a second, but then the suction grabs him back in and it’s too late.

Man found dead after being swept into sinkhole that opened up in private pool



Rescue operation in central Israel home went on for 4 hours, complicated by fears of secondary collapse; another man pulled in by receding water managed to exit with light injuries

A man was found dead Thursday afternoon, hours after a sinkhole opened up in an inground swimming pool at a private home in central Israel, with the receding water dragging him away along with another man who managed to climb his way out.

Search teams at the scene in the town of Karmei Yosef found the body following a complex rescue operation that took four hours and required the assistance of Go-Pro cameras hooked to the helmets of the staff workers as they were lowered deep underground

Fire and Rescue Services said the search was complicated by fears that tunnels branching out of the sinkhole could cause a secondary collapse.

Rescue forces built a support structure to prevent the pool’s surface from further collapsing on them before they were able to locate the missing man’s body.

The incident occurred during a pool party held for employees of a private company. Aloni/Flash90)

A man was found dead Thursday afternoon, hours after a sinkhole opened up in an inground swimming pool at a private home in central Israel, with the receding water dragging him away along with another man who managed to climb his way out.

Search teams at the scene in the town of Karmei Yosef found the body following a complex rescue operation that took four hours and required the assistance of Go-Pro cameras hooked to the helmets of the staff workers as they were lowered deep underground Fire and Rescue Services said the search was complicated by fears that tunnels branching out of the sinkhole could cause a secondary collapse. Rescue forces built a support structure to prevent the pool’s surface from further collapsing on them before they were able to locate the missing man’s body.

The incident occurred during a pool party held for employees of a private company.

Rescue teams dispatched to the scene earlier assisted a 34-year-old man who managed to climb out. He suffered light injuries to his lower body and was treated at the scene by paramedics. Meanwhile, emergency services were also scanning the area for other sinkholes. Police said they had dispatched a helicopter to aid in the search effort. peaking to Channel 12, one of the people who had attended the pool party said there were roughly 50 people at the scene when disaster struck.

“The water level suddenly started receding and a hole opened up, creating a vortex that swept two people inside.”

Another witness told the Ynet news site that the vortex swallowed up the victim in a matter of seconds and that there could’ve been additional casualties but that only six people were in the pool at the time.

As the sinkhole opened up, she shouted at her colleagues to get out of the pool but they initially thought it was some sort of game.

[Jewbacca]

Apparently, they thought it was a party game at first.

[Jewbacca]

Yes. Two went down. One lived with minor injuries. One dead.

[FamiliarFace]

Yes, it’s awful! My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. How traumatic for those who witnessed. It must have been so absolutely shocking.

[Jewbacca]

That would be a heck of a long tunnel.
