This is what I call a crappy day
The victims escaped, two with the help of firefighters, covered in raw sewage but not badly hurt. Andrew Palladino said the soggy ground, soaked by two days of rain, gave way outside his Long Island home: "I walked across the lawn, and all of a sudden I disappeared." He yelled to his wife for help, and she threw a rope and called their son, Dan, who lives with them. The son said the scene "was like a horror picture." A neighbor who heard the commotion ran over to help — but the ground gave way again, swallowing him and the son. The neighbor crawled out and passers-by tried to hold onto the others until the Huntington Fire Department arrived. Firefighters secured the ground, lassoed Palladino and his son and dragged them out. It's not the first time a cesspool — a pit that collects waste from toilets and sinks — has swallowed someone in Huntington. In 2001, a man practicing archery in the backyard with his two children died when his cesspool caved in and consumed him. And in 1998, a Huntington Station man was rescued after he fell 65 feet into one.

Crappy!
 I kill me. That has got to be one of the shittiest things to happen. (Again, I slay me.) The guy who died in his cesspool has got to have a special place in heaven just for going out like that.

How about the guy in California that was sitting in his kitchen when the floor gave way and killed him. Apparently his home was built on a century old mine that rainy days had weakened.

this reminds me of an early 20th-century case we read in torts last semester when studying assumption of the risk (i think): a lady chose to use an old outhouse rather than relieve herself in the nearby woods, and as she sat down she fell (and here's a direct quote i'll never forget!) "...into the accumulation below...."
