How - Biblical.
Eli Raz was peering into a narrow hole in the Dead Sea shore when the earth opened up and swallowed him.
I avoid Dead Seas. They sound like places where the wrath of God would cause the earth to swallow you up.

It's the site of Sodom and Gomorra? That explains everything. Like you, I avoid Dead Seas although I've been know to trek Central American jungle with trees that jump out and sting you.

That’s funny. I read that story yesterday but never once considered just how biblical that sounded.
