Homes next to the Florida sinkhole that swallowed a man will be demolished
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The homes on either side of the Tampa area house where a sinkhole opened under a man's bedroom are being demolished.
Officials say the demolition will take place Wednesday in Seffner, Fla. The homes were condemned April 1, a month after the sinkhole opened under the house next door, killing 37-year-old Jeffrey Bush.
The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/10OWs4J) reports that engineering consultants determined that repairing the homes would cost more than 50 percent of their value.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}On Wednesday morning, heavy equipment and trucks will return to the neighborhood near Tampa to demolish the homes.
