Termites, maybe?

A co-worker alerted me to a news item about a house collapsing in my neighborhood. Apparently, the house was undergoing foundation repair when it collapsed, trapping a worker underneath. (He's been pulled out and he's OK, according to the news.) The house is a few blocks from our house, so we stopped by after work, took some pictures, and posted them to my Flickr site Link. Keep in mind that this was a two story house.

Now, a house falling down isn't a funny thing, especially if it's your house, but the local news headlines are funny. Especially the breaking news headline (from local CBS affiliate News 8), "Home Explodes In South Park; One Possibly Trapped".
