The situation is so precarious and the ground so unstable that the rescuers can't get into the house. Even the technicians you see on TV walking around the yard are tethered to other firemen. They said they will have to demolish part of the house before they can get to the sinkhole.
So far they've been using radar and other devices to try to figure out how widespead the sinkhole is.
