The horrifying moment a 59-year-old married father-of-two fell into a backyard cesspool turned sinkhole was captured on video Wednesday.
Edward Sinnott was sucked into the cesspool after it collapsed on Long Island. His body was recovered hours later by emergency personnel.
Sinnott, who was employed by Antorino & Sons, was directing a crane as crew members with the company worked to add an overflow cesspool to Dan Kouttron's property at the time of the incident.
Authorities say around 1pm the cesspool collapsed leaving a gigantic hole that consumed Kouttron's entire front yard and at part of the driveway.
