In 1981, Todd Dombowski was twelve. He was playing near a tree in his grandmother�s backyard when smoke coiled up from the dirt. As he watched it, the ground beneath him suddenly gave way. Todd grabbed at the tree�s roots, caught hold, and was left dangling above a smoking, 80- foot-deep hole until someone heard his cries for help and came to rescue him.
