Not urban legend. Don't know if it's the same one mentioned, but it happened here a couple months ago. This area used to be a big gold-mining area. We'd had a lot of rain. A hole opened up in the middle of this guy's house and he fell in.Sevulturus wrote:So... the livingroom was in the basement?t_bonee wrote:His wife was upstairs and started coming down when she heard the noise.

Speaking of sink holes. I read in the news a couple months ago out in Cali some dude was chilling in his living room when he heard the rumble noise. He jumped up and before he could get 5 steps, a huge sinkhole opened in his house, right in his living room. Killed him.
damn! what are the chances of that. that's insane.
Or do you just mean that the floor gave way and he fell into the basement, which isn't actually a sinkhole. More like shoddy construction or poor maintenance to the house. And if the floor just gave way the house should have been condemned.
Sounds like an urban legend to me.
