The rescuer at a party held in the private pool in the yard of a house in Carmei Yosef, where a huge sinkhole opened today (Thursday), tells "Israel Today" what happened.
One person was missing in the incident, and another person who was swept into the pit was rescued with bruises on his limbs.
"I came to the event at the last minute as a lifeguard," says Aviv Bublil. "The event was relatively calm.
Six or eight people were swimming in the pool and the rest about 30 to 40 people were standing around.
Suddenly a vortex formed in the center of the pool, and waves rose all around.
I have never seen anything like it.
I do not know how to describe it even.
First thing I demanded of everyone was to get out of the water and then the sinkhole was exposed and all the water was pumped in.
It was a matter of the second century.
Everyone was hysterical. '
The lifeguard Bublil went on to tell how one of the bathers was sucked into the sinkhole and rescued by those present who noticed him.
"He shouted, 'Save me, help me,' and there were those who rushed to pull him out. After a few minutes, we realized that one of the participants in the party was missing. At first they still thought he might have entered the house or left the place. They tried to call him and he did not answer."
"The rescue will take hours."
