The catastrophic collapse of the ground beneath our feet is a growing worldwide hazard. (Aired January 28, 2015) In a leafy suburb near Tampa, Florida, on February 28, 2013, a giant hole opened up under the bedroom floor of Jeffrey Bush, swallowing him as he slept. His body was never found. Bush was a victim of a sinkhole, a worldwide hazard that lurks wherever limestone and other water-soluble rocks underpin the soil.
