Miami condo collapse: Woman told husband on phone she saw pool cave in before building fell, report says

 

A woman missing in the deadly Florida condo building collapse called her husband as the tragedy unfolded — and said she saw a sinkhole where the pool used to be before the line went dead, according to a new report.

 

"It was 1:30 a.m., I’ll never, never forget that," Mike Stratton, husband of Cassie Stratton, 40, told the Miami Herald.

 

The model, actress and Pilates instructor woke her husband in Washington, D.C. and frantically told him that their building was shaking before making the startling comments about a sinkhole, according to the outlet.

From the comments:

 

I watched a documentary on the caves and caverns under Florida a couple of years ago on the History channel. Two divers (with cameras) entered the caves via a small pond. Two "trackers" monitored their path from above ground. They traced these caves for a couple of miles. Parts of the cave ran directly under people's houses. To not lose tract of the divers, the trackers had to actually walk through one man's house. The homeowner was willing to let them walk through and was ready to sell his house when they explained the "caves". These "caves" were large enough for two men in complete diving gear to easily swim through. It was a large cave system under Florida just waiting to cave in and cause sinkholes. It was disturbing to watch. Made me never want to move to Florida.

==There's a massive cave system under Florida. This diver helped to map it out.

Brice McMinn was part of the team that helped map a cave system under Pasco County in the early 2000s.==

 

"Just that area, the depths range to 40-50 feet to excess of 100 feet," he said.

 

He says the cave system under Pasco County isn't particularly deep, but it is "extensive."

 

He remembers using a sinkhole to enter the cave system.

 

"There was a former resident that one of the sinkholes was behind his house that he allowed us to access, so his kids would help us carry gear, or they'd be there after a dive and ask us, 'What did you find? What did you see? What was it like?'" McMinn told 10News.

 

McMinn isn't surprised to find neighborhoods on top of these systems, and says they're all over the Sunshine State.

 

"The cave systems can occur anywhere in Florida. I was told by a diver years ago that if you cut Florida it would look like Swiss cheese," McMinn said.
