LONG ISLAND WOMAN PLUNGES INTO BACKYARD CESSPOOL ON HER 47TH BIRTHDAY — “I THOUGHT I’D BE BURIED ALIVE”
Long Island woman plunged into backyard cesspool — feared she’d be ‘buried alive’ on 47th birthday
A Long Island woman fell into an overflow cesspool in her backyard Thursday — leaving her screaming for help and fearing for her life on her birthday.
Danielle Tammone, now 47, plunged eight feet at her Bohemia home as her golden retriever Daisy watched in terror while she shrieked for help.
“It happened so quickly — my feet just sunk a little bit, but it was like seconds. I didn’t even have time,” Tammone told 1010 WINS.
“And then I was just ‘hoop!’ down the hole. Just in the ground.”
Tammone began to slowly make sense of her surroundings while in a state of shock.
“Okay… what just happened?” she asked herself. “Like, where am I? Alright I’m in the ground. You’re in a hole, wow.”
