Rescue teams were lowered deep underground to search for the man, armed with Go-Pro cameras.The search was made more difficult by fears that another sinkhole could open up, threatening to crush the rescue teams.Emergency services put up a structure to prevent the surface of the pool from collapsing on them as they worked.After four hours of searching, the body of the man was eventually found at the end of a 15-metre tunnel.A 34-year-old man was also dragged under by the sinkhole but was able to scramble to safety.He suffered minor wounds to his lower body and was treated at the scene.One of the partygoers who had witnessed the catastrophe told Israel's Channel 12: "The water level suddenly started receding and a hole opened up, creating a vortex that swept two people inside." Another person told Ynet that the sinkhole swallowed the man in just seconds.

She said as the sinkhole opened, she shouted at her colleagues to get out of the pool - but they initially thought it was part of a game.She said: "Seconds later, the ground just dropped… I watched two people just disappear." Paramedic Uri Damari told The Jerusalem Post : "This is a very unusual incident. "When I got to the scene I saw a pit that had opened at the bottom of the empty pool."People who were at the site told me that the pit opened suddenly and within a few seconds all the water of the pool was pulled in."READ NEXT: Paramedic who posted revenge porn of his ex has been struck off after being jailed Shocking footage reveals moment boy, 4, shot at cops arresting.
