His brother tried grabbing him. He was sinning as hole. The First Responder on the scene grabbed him out. They werent able to reach jeff bush. They havent heard from him the past several hours. This property, this sink hole is 100 feet wide. The home could go at any moment. What a scene. All right, rob munoz from our tampa station. Thanks very much. Sam, how does this happen . It happens a lot more than we think, robin. And a lot more places than we believe. And whats most frightening about this is how sudden and instant it is. The ground is fine and there, until its not. Youre looking at pictures from florida right now. Well give you the abc virtual view to describe whats going on under the ground. Everything looks tranquil and peaceful right on top of the surface. But when you pull it away from the surface and get a side view. And the most likely states are florida, texas, alabama, missouri, kentucky, tennessee and pennsylvania. And heres why. Under the surface, there will be a deposit of earth thats probably a soluble rock, like salt or gypsum or limestone. Water gets in here and cant get out. And all of this dissolves. Then, the water leaches away. The ground collapses. You never know the ground is going to collapse because for a long time that ground will stay perfectly in place. And all of a sudden, just give away. It could just be a few feet. It could be hundreds of acres that go suddenly, just like that. Thats why this thing is so frightening. It can also happen in construction areas where water has been pumped out of the ground. Certainly terrifying. Well have updates as news warrants. Thank you for that, sam. We turn to washington, d. C. Where it is deadline day for those massive federal budget cuts due to take effect just before midnight tonight. Abcs Jonathan Karl tracking the latest at the white house right now. Good morning to you, jon. Reporter good morning, josh. The day is upon us. Those dreaded acrosstheboard spending cuts will go into effect some time before 11 59 p. M. Tonight. And only now is the president having his first meeting with congressional leaders here at the white house to try to do something about it. Congress has now gone home for a long weekend. [ crickets ] after failing to pass a plan to avert the sweeping 85 billion in cuts. I cannot tell you how disgusted i am. Reporter in an impassioned speech on the senate floor, republican lindsey graham, cast blame not only on the president , but also on his own party. To me this is pathetic leadership by the commander in chief. This is an abandonment of the republicans party. This is a low point in my time in the United States congress. Reporter the fingerpointing is a little embarrassing, since both sides spent almost no time trying to come to an agreement. It is the president s sequester. It was his team that insisted upon it. Its a shame our republican colleagues have decided that protecting special interests. Than the right thing for our economy. Reporter now what . The Administration Warns that in the coming weeks, well see flight delays, kids thrown out of headstart and criminals set free. But White House Press secretary jay carney acknowledged the pain may not come right away. What happens at 11 59 . Look, you know, not all of them will be felt immediately. They dont all happen on saturday. Its a gradual process. But the cumulative impact of sequester, you know, will be significant to our economy and particularly so to the individuals affected. Reporter nobody has high hopes for todays meeting. Even if they were to suddenly come up with an agreement, of course, the house and the senate are gone for the weekend. So, there would be nobody around to actually pass it. Robin . So true. All right, jon. Thanks so much. So, how could the looming cuts affect each of us . Gma weekend coanchor Bianna Golodryga is here with that. Good morning, bianna. Reporter good morning, robin. While all these budget cuts may not have a huge impact on the overall economy just yet, they will be affecting millions of americans. And many of them not well as it is. Lets show you whats going to happen. Those receiving unemployment checks, unemployment checks will go down by nearly 10 . 9. 4 . The longterm benefit, a loss of 400 for those collecting checks. Also, those on disability payments will be delayed for weeks. We dont know how many weeks. Also, were talking about Small Businesses. Small Business Loans will be down nearly 2,000. Small businesses affecting millions of americans. This particular cut would affect 22,000, nearly 23,000 americans. This is important because Small Businesses employ the majority of all american workers. Robin . Bianna, thank you.

Rachel smith is here, too. Its colonization starting now. Good morning, everyone. Were going to be leading with a wildfire thats menacing homes out of los angeles this morning. It broke out overnight, east of the city in riverside county. You can see 30foot flames devouring palm trees and scorching backyards. This fire is being fueled by unseasonably warm and windy conditions. 200 firefighters are trying to put this thing out. People have been told to evacuate. But some of them are using garden hoses to protect their property. So far, the fire is about 30 contained. At the vatican this morning, Pope Benedicts apartment has been sealed. The doors closed with that symbolic red ribbon, all part of the ancient, secret and elaborate process leading up to choosing a new pope. Abcs david wright is at the vatican once again this morning to tell us what is coming next. David, good morning. Reporter good morning, dan. A new day begins for the Roman Catholic church. This morning, the dean of the college of cardinals sent out this letter, calling the cardinals to rome. He sent it out by email, in fact. The vatican adapting its ancient traditions to modern times. At the stroke of 8 00 last night, the swiss guard closed the heavy doors at castel gandolfo. And the local police took over for them. Marking the moment that benedict was no longer hope. Pope. The vatican took his picture off the popes twitter account and deleted all of the tweets. That account will soon belong to someone else. Today, the call went out to the cardinals, a summons to a general congregation 9 30 monday morning. Theyll have daily meetings to discuss the issues facing the charge. While technicians prepare the Sistine Chapel for the conclave. Installing cell phone jamming devices under the floor boards. Installing the chimney for the smoke signals, the only way approved method for communicating the results. What are you hearing . You know, quite honestly, its an open conclave. Reporter the cardinals tell us the names they have in mind going in, include all the ones being discussed in the news media. Did we miss anybody . Cardinal reporter now, we should underscore that the meetings that begin monday morning are not the start of the conclave. They will have general meetings to discuss the future of the church while they await all of the cardinals arrivals. But most of them are already here. So, it could begin relatively quickly. Dan . And the cell phone jammers in the floor of the Sistine Chapel. David wright, thank you. This morning, president obama is taking a stand on gay marriage. And he has an unusual ally here. The white house is now urging the Supreme Court to overturn californias ban on samesex marriage. Calling it unconstitutional. And support is coming in from clint eastwood, who famously ridiculed the president with an empty chair at the republican convention. And finally this morning, take a look at what happened in iowa. A tractortrailer burst into flames. It was dangling off a highway after a crash. Watch as the fire crews go to extremes here. They push the trailer over the edge so the flames wouldnt spread to the second trailer. The driver had managed to jump out. So, in the immortal words of one josh elliott, no one was hurt. Thankfully. Which i believe that should be the name of Josh Elliotts book. Its going to have that intonation, too. You know what im saying . Just like that. You will be forced to read the book. Thank you, dan. All right, were going to turn now to a very odd and rather stunning couple in the news this morning. Basketball hall of famer dennis rodman, making international headlines, becoming the First American to meet north Korean Leader kim jongun. File this under the strangest but the truest. Abcs Claire Shipman has more, now, in washington. Good morning to you, claire. Reporter good morning, josh. Maybe its an updated take on that coldwar pingpong diplomacy. The matchup is bizarre. But both personalities are so quirky, it almost makes a strange sort of sense. Its a long way to go for a bromance. Its my first time. I think it is most these guys first time. Very upset. Reporter american bad boy nba hall of famer dennis rodman. And worldwide bad boy, dictator, kim jongun. Two guys, sharing a lot of laughs in north korea. Bonding at a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition game. The north Korean Leader is a passionate basketball fan. Afterwards, sushi at the leaders palace. Background music the theme song from that smash tv show, dallas. The unlikely courtship made the front page of the newspaper. Rodman assured his new pal, he has a friend for life. Apparently, its basketball diplomacy. An hbo producer brought rodman and a few globetrotters to pyongyang as part of a new documentary series. This is a basketball game. And its a basketball game designed to bring about dialogue. Reporter always overthetop, remember the hair . The Wedding Dress . North korea may be the only place rodman is considered a diplomat. Hes now the First American to meet the new north Korean Leader. An honor not even given to the head of google recently. Administration sources say this gettogether came as a surprise. We dont think the timing of this is particularly helpful. Reporter especially just a few weeks after the North Koreans conducted a highlyprovocative nuclear test. Rodman tweeted, im not a politician. Kim jongun and north Korean People are basketball fans. Now, kim jongun said he hopes this visit will break the ice between the two countries. Rodman reportedly invited him for a visit to the United States. That got a huge laugh from the dictator, robin. Im sure it did. All right, claire, thank you. Have a good weekend. Now, to the mystery of the show dog who suddenly died just days after the prestigious westminster dog show. The owner suspects her beloved pet was deliberately poisoned during the event. Dan, youve been tracking the latest for us. All over this story. Good morning, once again. The death of a dog named cruz has touched off a feverish round of fingerpointing and handwringing. And it has provided us a fascinating glimpse into the intense world of dog shows. Cruz was a cotton puff. A 3yearold purebred samoyed, worth thousands of dollars, flew commercial and was considered an upandcomer in the dog show world. He was just a cool dog to be around. Reporter he came to new york last month with a dream, competing at westminster, the super bowl for canines. The night before at the new yorker hotel, cruz had a steak dinner with his handler, robert chapman. The day of, he trotted spryly, although he didnt win. But days later, he started coughing blood and then died. The vet says his symptoms suggest he ate rat poison. We wholeheartedly believe that he was intentionally poisoned. Reporter he believes cruz was poisoned by Animal Rights activists. One of whom argued with him outside the show. And hes raising the possibility that she could have thrown some rat poison into the dogs cage. The accusation is ludicrous. And he hasnt even identified the person as an Animal Rights activist. It was someone who criticized him. Reporter so, what about cruzs rivals . After all, the dog show world is a competitive hothouse, where ive seen owners go to extraordinary lengths for an edge. She gets breakfast made for her in the morning. And its a hot breakfast. Reporter eggs . Oh, yeah. Reporter its happened before. Look at this New York Times headline from 1895. Eight dogs poisoned at westminster. Jealousy believed the motive. Impossible, says the handler. I dont believe it was another competitor by any means. I believe it was somebody who is sick. Reporter so, then, maybe cruz ate rat poison unintentionally. However, the people at the hotel where he stayed say they dont use the stuff. And, according to the westminster kennel club, the same thing is true at the facility where the dog show was held. Okay. So what now . The owner has called the nypd. But its too late to have the body examined. The owner was so confident that cruz had been poisoned, she said she immediately had him cremated. His life, impossibly cute. His death, perhaps, impossible to solve. Thank you, dan. We turn now to a truly one of a kind rental opportunity. In the heart of Beverly Hills.
