Crews with heavy equipment have been used to demolition the Florida home over a huge sinkhole where a man is presumed dead after being swallowed by the earth.
The search for Jeff Bush, 37, was called off on the weekend, and a heavy machine with a large bucket scoop was moved into position on Sunday.
The six-metre-wide opening of the sinkhole was almost covered by the house, and rescuers said there were no signs of life since the hole opened on Thursday.
Jeremy Bush, the man who tried to save his brother, was escorted with a woman by a deputy sheriff to the front of the house early Sunday before equipment moved into position.
He repositioned some flowers from a makeshift memorial to a safer location, where Bush and the unidentified woman knelt in prayer.
