Agencies
Alta: It was like a scene from a horror film: A 27-year-old man plummeted into a gaping hole that suddenly opened beneath a house, trapping him beneath foundation rubble and killing him.
Authorities say the home, built in the 1980s, may have been sitting atop a decades-old underground mine. Recent rains could have softened the ground under the home, in an isolated area near Lake Alta.
“It’s unbelievable,” Placer County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Dena Erwin said. “From the front of the house, it's absolutely normal. Then, in the middle of the house, is this enormous hole.”
The victim was awake and on the ground floor about 9:30 p.m. on Friday when the concrete foundation near the kitchen gave way, sending him plunging into to the ground, Erwin said.
Rescuers had trouble reaching him because the ground began to shift, creating an unsafe situation for work crews.
Authorities returned to the home on Sunday to try and remove the man’s body.

| The foundation was filled up with rubble. Scary. My dad points to some of the housing constructions here in Malaysia and he said some housing projects use rubbles from other housing sites and fill the foundation. Luckily there is no earth quake in Malaysia because if there is one, the houses will collapse like dominos. |
