Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, March 2nd, 2013 9:21pm PST - promote requested by original submitter UsesProzac.

Having CNN cameras around is a great time to charge into your own house to go find your brother because no one else is. And when they stop you, you yell out "if you can stop me, then you can help".

There must be more to the story. Asking what the brother was like doesn't help.

Uhh.. so, can I get a bit more story on this?

Of course, lets all rush in the possibly unstable sinkhole that could collapse more with the added weight killing the brother if hes not dead already (prolly roaming the Goonie Cave under there) and possibly killing the rescuers

I heard the story on the morning news. Crazy!
Here's CNN's coverage.

A sinkhole started in this guy's brother's bedroom, sucked him and his bed into it-The man here tried in vain to help his bro before help arrived, rescue got there and most likely decided the area was unstable, the guy's bro was already a goner, and CNN swoops in for some heart-wrenching camera-time with this poor grieving man like the cunts they are-

Fucking vultures.

Honestly, I don't get what everyone is bitching about. Cooper did exactly what any journalist would do, at least those with some tact and empathy. If this was for a print story, you would have only heard bits and pieces about what his brother was like. But on live tv, it's actually MUCH harder than any of you think to do what the stock holders want you to do, what the public expects you to do, and still be a human being to the person you're interviewing.

What is he supposed to say at this point? Hey man, sorry, but you're totally a bummer right now and well, we were hoping for something more ratings worthy than you sobbing about how much you miss your brother. On to the next one!

It's Florida. Simple as that. That's all the story you need. This happens, a lot. And hopefully the stupid conspiracy theorists I've seen on YouTube claiming this is fake don't show up here.

Florida's substrate is mostly limestone, which is also why we have such a huge aquifer. However, as more and more people move here and more developers continue to build without any other thought than profit margins, we'll see this more and more. Add tons of weight, then pump out all the water holding a fragile strata together, and then surprise, sinkhole.

In this case, it's the same as the others. People are at home, sinkhole forms, and people get killed. In this case there are 6 dead, and this guy was the only one willing to go on camera.

"are you holding onto hope at all"

what a fucking asshole.

His profession is to think on the fly and do interviews. He has years of experience. This guy is sobbing about his dead brother. Cooper just asks questions as if he wasn't filled in on the story.
"uhh... so how deep is the hole?"
"and..uh how long did you hear him for?"

Jesus Christ give the guy a moment. Cut to something else.

"you obviously sound shaken up from this tragic event, our hopes and prayers are with you and your family"

CUT TO SOME OTHER SHIT. They have an entire room of guys ready to do anything on the fly with live tv.

The consensus so far in favor of n o t swooping down upon a grieving relative in the short hours after their horror-professional journalistic voyeurism at it's finest alla ambulance-chasers, alla Geraldo Rivera..Elbow-in-the-elevator journalism if ya axe me-

I sobbed when I watched this video. I wasn't aware of the just how bad it is in Florida right now. There are many informative videos and articles about it out there, even a VICE guide or two. Fuck sinkholes and fuck a government who sits on their hands.
