NEUVILLE-SUR-AUTHOU, France, June 29 Sibastien Elerbach was finishing
dinner at his his sister's renovated Norman farmhouse when a
thunderous crash erupted in the backyard. Dashing out the door to
investigate, he plunged into oblivion.

Mr. Elerbach, who was 24, was buried alive in a 40-foot-deep hole that
had not been there a few seconds earlier. One corner of the house was
suddenly hanging over a vortex of collapsing earth that became deeper
and wider by the minute.

- NYT 6 July 2001

There once was a sister from Neuville
whose farmhouse was not on the level
  Her brother who dashed
  out to check out the crash
was hence forced to shack up with the devil
