Lucky no one was injured! I'd now be very worried about my house, if it were mine.

Certainly all my photos and anything sentimental would be in a box in somewhere else's home!  and I would be getting a Surveyor in for advice!

I've recorded it as I too was watching The Jump, which was a waste of time overall as half of them got wiped out by injury.  :-\

We enjoyed it!  Extreme sports are dangerous ……….. and I think there was a good Medical Team on site to give advice.

It didn't have 'that' type of 'ring' about it though, I don't bother with celebrity-type programmes but the chance to see Eddie the Eagle again  ;) as well as Sir Steve  :-*

The Horizon programme was very good,   I sure don't want to live in Florida  :(
Worth a watch on catch up TV.

A sink hole appeared in an alley near where my partner lived as a child.  A lady disappeared down it and despite heroic rescue attempts her body was never recovered.

This happened 40 years or so ago.

Luckily nobody hurt in M2 sinkhole as it appeared in the central reservation but it was 16 ft deep!  Caused chaos with all the traffic being diverted onto M20...still not open for foreseeable future.
