In Israel, a sinkhole that appeared beneath a swimming pool has claimed the life of a man.
The 30-year-old male was discovered at the end of a 49-foot (15-meter) tunnel beneath the swimming pool in Karmei Yosef, in central Israel.
emergency assistance Before discovering the body, rescuers using Go-Pro cameras built a scaffolding to stop the rest of the pool from collapsing and worked for four hours to save others.
More than 50 guests at the company pool party can be seen horrified as the sinkhole drains the pool in the horrifying video.
Several floats, including a blow-up flamingo, are seen disappearing into the hole in the centre of the pool as party-goers scramble to escape.

They stated that further sinkholes in the region were being found using a helicopter.
Police stated that they were looking into the tragedy and whether the pool was run legally.
The Jerusalem Post quoted paramedic Uri Damari as saying, “This is a highly unique situation.”
“When I arrived at the scene, I discovered a pit that had developed at the base of the barren pool.
‘People who were at the site told me that the pit opened suddenly and within a few seconds all the water of the pool was pulled in.’
He had minor head and body injuries, and after receiving medical attention, we took him to the hospital.
‘The water level suddenly started decreasing and a hole opened up, generating a vortex that pulled two people within,’ a partygoer told Israel’s Channel 12.
“The ground just collapsed… I observed two people disappear,” a different witness told Ynet.
