kaufman's daughter, along with his brother made a convincing bid he might be alive, the rumor mill turned again. according to his death certificate, andy kaufman died may 16, 1984 at cedar sinai hospital in west hollywood, california. when asked if there was any chance he faked his own death, the l.a. coroner put it bluntly andy kaufman is dead. his comedy lives on. we'd like to think he does, too. miguel marquez, cnn, hollywood. >> all right. we're going to hear from andy kauffman's brother tomorrow at 3:00 eastern here on cnn. we have much more straight ahead in the newsroom and it all starts right now. i'm fredricka whitfield, here are the top stories from the cnn newsroom. princeton university students

may need to get an emergency vaccine before going home to help stop the spread of a rare, dangerous strain of meningitis. and toronto mayor, rob ford, admitted to smoking crack, buying drugs and drinking himself into a stuper, but as the city council votes to limit his powers, ford is apologizing but not backing down. and it has been three years since a california family mysteriously vanished. now the search is over but there still remain questions. first up, the meningitis outbreak at princeton university. the school and health officials are taking it extremely seriously. here is why. it involves a rare strain of the bacterial disease that can be deadly and there's no vaccine available in this country. that's why the federal government is looking overseas for help. alexandra field is live for us

at princeton. alexandra, what are government officials doing, to what extent are they trying to make the vaccine available? >> reporter: they're talking about a few solutions. as you know, there's no meningitis "b" vaccine allowed in this country. there is one in use in australia and in europe. now the fda has cleared one major hurdle that could bring that vaccine to princeton where there have been seven confirmed cases. the fda says the vaccine could be imported and reach the campus as part of a drug trial program, but it is up to the university to decide whether or not they want to have the vaccine here. that's something that trustees are discussing this weekend. we asked students whether they might be interested in using that vaccine if it came here, and here is what they had to say. >> i think i would first see what they decide and then kind of do more research on my own. >> i trust the vaccine, as long as it is approved in europe and

australia, gives me confidence in the fact that it works i guess. i probably wouldn't get it at the moment, i am not too worried about the whole meningitis outbreak yet. if princeton starts vaccinating students, i don't know if i would be first in line for it. i mean, it is an interesting option. >> reporter: again, the trustees haven't issued any decision on whether or not that vaccine could be available. if it is made available, it would be here for up to 8,000 students. the students tell us that the school kept them informed of any updates concerning a meningitis "b" outbreak since the first case materialized in march. they have been using mostly e-mails, fred. >> thanks so much. now to the latest on the mayor of toronto. the city council has had enough. members voted to strip mayor rob ford of some of his key powers, an unprecedented move in that city. this comes after ford admitted to smoking crack, going on drinking binges. even though he's accused of associating with prostitutes and made lewd sexual comments in

front of television cameras this week, ford's wife is standing by him. >> do you think he should take a leave of absence? >> that's why we have elections. >> do you think he should at least take some personal time? should he at least take a little personal time? >> no. >> so what is next for mayor ford? senior international correspondent nic robertson in toronto today. nic, you spoke with rob ford's brother who was also on the city council. what is next? how and why are they remaining in this fight? >> reporter: well, they plan to continue to fight, even if it means dipping in the mayor's own pokt to pay for legal costs. as this goes on, they could mount substantially. as it goes on, more and more details emerge about allegations about not only the mayor but what his family members might have been doing in their past,

and i asked his brother, wasn't all of this just becoming humiliating, and what's it going to do to the family's political legacy. >> i think our legacy is going to be pretty solid based on how rob performs. you're going to look at a family that doesn't need to be doing this, that has sacrificed massive amounts of time, money, their business to serve the people. >> aren't you worried about his health with all of the additional stress, not just the public and not just counselors but family. >> i am confident that the people that actually know us understand what we have done for our community. >> your brother's health. >> that's right. the priority obviously his health comes first over anything. you don't have your health, you have nothing, so we're confident that rob is going to move forward and only time will tell. if i sit here and tell you 100% rob ford is going to be perfect,

i can't tell you that. >> reporter: he can't say his brother will be 100% perfect, that he will get through this okay. his brother is getting support. his brother does have a drink problem, but interesting the mayor's own brother really isn't sure if it will be okay in the end here, fred. >> all right, and then talk about monday because city council is not finished yet. they say there's still some business to attend to. >> reporter: city council planning to take more votes, strip more powers from the mayor, take away some of his money, some of his staff, more power to the deputy mayor. monday also the day that the mayor and his brother debut in an hour long talk show. i talked to his brother about that. he said they don't go in scripted, it comes off the cuff. maybe more interesting comments to hear on that as well. >> i am sure people are banking on that as well as the cable television station as to why they extended that offer in the

first place. nic robertson, thanks so much. so the ford brothers may expect public opinion to swing back in their favor, but not everyone agrees. in a few minutes, we'll be talking to a member of toronto city council to find out why she voted to strip the mayor of his powers. now to a troubling case out of alabama where a convicted child rapist will not face jail time. 25-year-old austin clem was found guilty of first degree rape, but the judge sentenced him to two years in a correctional facility. not surprisingly, the victim courtney andrews, now 20 is shocked and outraged. >> he gets to stay home with his three little girls and it scares the crap out of me. >> you're scared for their safety? >> because what's been done to me is done, but i don't want anybody else being hurt because i know what it feels like to be scared, like your life is being threatened and to have so many things taken away from you.

i had to grow up when i was 13 years old, i didn't have a childhood. i don't want that for anyone else. >> the county's district attorney told cnn that he is reviewing options to set aside this sentence and get justice for the victim. all right. jay-z says he is keeping his partnership with barney's, new york, the store in manhattan. the hip-hop artist was criticized after barney's was accused of racially profiling two black customers at its manhattan flagship store. jay-z says he will sit on a special council set up with barney's to deal with racial profiling. in a statement, he said he is in a unique position to effect change at the high end retailer. a big reveal first seen on cnn this morning. automobile magazine taking the wraps off the 2014 automobile of the year, and there it is. the chosen car is a 2014

chevrolet corvette stingray. what a transformation. the new corvette has better power and more fuel economy than last year's model. cnn took a test drive, found the car to be quicker. i guess so, in manhattan, too, with higher quality interior design. did they rig all the traffic lights to see how fast it goes? prices for the base stingray start at just under 52,000. pretty color, too. part of a mystery now solved, more than three years after being reported missing, the bodies of a couple and their two children have been found. still, so many questions. police say joseph and summer mcstay, along with two bodies, believed to be their sons, were buried in a shallow grave in a desert near los angeles. nick valencia joins me live now. nick, while they know the family has been located three years after, they still don't know how they ended up in this situation.

authorities say they were killed. >> reporter: that's right. this investigation is far from over. want to take you back to march of 2010 when they were first reported missing. investigators did go over the house, all signs pointed to the family leaving on their own accord. investigators were baffled by what they found inside, eggs on the counter, dogs were there, popcorn still on the table. in their search on a hard drive, found research into child passports going into mexico and travel into mexico. authorities initially believed, fred, this family crossed into mexico, in fact they say there was grainy video of this family crossing into mexico. you see that video there. the family of the victims say that's not the case, that if this family were to have crossed, it would have been because they were in trouble, but they downtown that family crossed. yesterday the brother of the husband found killed in one of the shallow graves, he spoke at a press conference and talked about how emotional this

discovery was for him. >> it gives us courage to know that they're together. and they're in a better place. my family appreciates all the support and the love that we've been shown. >> lots of questions, obviously still painful for the family. >> indeed. so now what for this investigation? how many resources would be poured into what happened to this family, how were they killed, who might be involved. >> reporter: there's local authorities and the sheriff. they need to consider dna testing for the two children. they identified the mother and father, they're still working to confirm the identities of the children, they believe it is the family of four discovered in the shallow grave. miles from their san diego home, they were discovered closer to los angeles.

it doesn't match up. >> and away from the vehicle. >> reporter: miles from the vehicle and home. if that grainy video was the family crossing to mexico, there's so many questions that remain unanswered in this investigation, which is why the family is sort of scratching their heads. they still don't have full closure. >> it is terribly heart breaking. thanks for bringing that to us, nick valencia. if you want to learn more about it, go to cnn.com. in a minute, i talk to a city council member from toronto among the council that decided to remove powers from this mayor.

all right, back to toronto where the city council has moved to strip mayor rob ford of some of his key powers. the action came after the mayor admitted to smoking crack cocaine, going on drinking binges. ford also defended himself

against sexual harassment allegations and shocked canadians by making lewd comments in front of cameras. >> the last thing was olivia gop beck, that i wanted to eat her [bleep]. i never said that in my life to her, i would never do that. i am happily married, i have more than enough to eat at home. >> what's next for rob ford and the city of toronto. i am joined by karen stents, one of the city council members in toronto that voted to strip the mayor of some of his powers. so tell me about this vote coming up this week in a moment. first tell me why you decided to strip him of the powers and how you believe that will keep him from continuing to be a mayor. >> yeah. thank you for having me on. we decided as council we needed to take some action to restore some order back into city hall. we decided we needed to strip the powers of the mayor to appoint his deputy, deputy

mayor, and in the instance of emergency, we didn't want the mayor to be in a decision making capacity, we wanted the deputy mayor to actually take over those functions. >> is he in a position that he can argue that the legislative branch is taking over executive branch authority and that city council really doesn't have the legal right to do this? >> no, he can't actually, in toronto we don't have a strong mayor system. the mayor is only one vote on council. so we acted within our authority because we felt that the mayor wasn't actually representing the city. toronto is a great city, a safe city, the third largest transit system, we have an incredible city and our mayor's behavior is not reflecting the city very well, and we felt as council we needed to make sure we were in charge of the agenda and that we could be in charge of the decision making moving forward. >> and what is likely to happen monday?

i understand the city council will yet again try to remove more powers. to what extent? >> now what we are going to do is ask the deputy mayor to step in in the role of mayor. we will allocate staff to the deputy mayor, allocate all the functions we can to deputy mayor so norm kelly can effectively represent the city. as council, a large majority believe the mayor can't do that on our behalf. >> you'll ask the deputy mayor to step in? it is a request, and has the deputy mayor expressed he or she wants to do that? >> yes, he does, yes. the deputy mayor understands why we're taking these steps. once we take the final steps on monday, effectively we will be putting the deputy mayor in a position to represent the city instead of the mayor. >> so what's your greatest worry here about how this city can restore its reputation? because from this point on it will forever it seems be known as the city whose mayor was

smoking crack cocaine and going on binge drinking. >> well, and that's why council felt so strongly we needed to remove powers from the mayor because this man, he is only one man and he doesn't reflect our city. as i said, we have a great city. 2.7 million residents. we're building more condos than any other city in the nation. we have the third largest transit system, we have one of the safest cities and the behavior of the mayor does not reflect the city and that's why we took the steps we did. >> do i understand that you hope to run for mayor of toronto? >> yes. i actually expressed my intention to run for mayor five or six weeks ago because i didn't think the mayor was doing a very good job then, and his behavior as of late led me to the conclusion he is not fit for office and i am looking forward to the upcoming election in 2014. >> karen stintz, thanks for your time. all the best. >> thank you. coming up, anderson cooper is in the philippines covering

more than a week after a typhoon slammed into the philippines, aid is finding it to the hardest-hit, most remote areas. the death toll now above 3500. people that survived are dying because they don't have access

to proper medical care. the red cross raised $11 million. today, a senior u.s. official says 9,000 troops are supporting relief operations in the philippines. anderson cooper has been covering the catastrophe live from the philippines. he and other international reporters have been criticized by philippine broadcasters for inaccuracy, and the philippine president asked them to focus on stories that show how strong the filipino people are. here is anderson's powerful response. >> if you have been watching our coverage over the past week, you know we have been on the ground trying to be as accurate as possible. accuracy is what we care most about here at cnn, giving information that might actually help people on the ground and help the relief effort in some way become more efficient. in our reporting it seems though in the philippines it has become about a political issue at times. a radio broadcaster, carina

sanchez has apparently taken issue with some of my reporting, not just a radio broadcaster, she's wife of the interior minister in charge of relief on the ground. she seems to be under the impression that i said i saw no presence of the philippine government in tack low ban. i had been on the ground there for days, i in fact interviewed a heroic navy captain, captain santiago, going out and helping people. i am seeing work that's being done and work that isn't being done perhaps as importantly. miss sanchez is welcome to go there, i would urge her to. i don't know if she has, her husband is the interior minister, i am sure he can arrange a flight. here is the broadcast she thinks i said something i didn't say. here is what i actually said. as for who exactly is in charge of the philippine side of this

operation, that is not really clear. i mean, i'm just surprised that i haven't -- i expected on this day five, i thought i had maybe gotten here very late that things would be well in hand. it does not seem like that. people are desperate. people do not have any place for shelter. it is very difficult for people to get food. neighbors are helping out neighbors. water is in short supply. it is a very bad situation here. let's remember, i showed you a clinic several days ago that was at the airport that doctors there said they didn't have enough food, didn't have enough water for the hundreds of people they were seeing every day, that they didn't have enough medical supplies, that's a clinic at the airport. if any clinic in the entire disaster zone should be able to receive aid quickly and easily it is the clinic at the airport and they were not getting it. i don't know what the situation is there today. i certainly pray to god it is a better situation than it was even two days ago. the president of the philippines

has also counselled foreign journalists to be accurate in their reports and we certainly appreciate that counsel. accuracy is what we strive for. i read in the paper, first time i have been able to read the news, the president said in a speech the media should use a rule to find stories of resilience, hope and faith, show the world how strong the filipino people are. i would say that all week long in every report we have done we have shown how strong the filipino people are. filipino people, the people of tacloban and all these places where so many died, they're strong not to just have survived this storm, but they're strong to have survived the aftermath of this storm. they survived for a week, often with very little food, very little water, very little medical attention. can you imagine the strength it takes to be living in a shack, to be living, sleeping on the

streets, next to bodies of your dead children. can you imagine that strength? i can't. and i have seen that strength day-in and day-out here in the philippines. we honor them with every broadcast we do. >> and if you want to help victims impacted by the typhoon, go to the special impact world website at cnn.com/impact. it was supposed to be his crowning achievement as president, but obama care may end up being barack obama's biggest defeat, and lasting legacy. all of that next.

to get the affordable care act up and running without any technical problems or controversy over cancelled policies. yesterday he met with insurance company ceos to get them on board with his plan for a one year extension on policies that were cancelled. the president says once the problems are resolved, he is confident his signature health care law will be embraced by

americans. >> we know the demand is out there for that. despite all of the problems with the website, over a million people applied. many multiples of that wanted to see what options were available. >> a day earlier, the president delivered a me a can you pa and took responsibility for the missteps on obama care. >> that's on me. i mean, we fumbled the rollout on the health care law. there are a whole bunch of things about it that are working really well, which people didn't notice. >> now the big question is, can the president save his second term? i am joined by cnn senior political analyst ron brownstein and allen lichtman who ran for congress in 2006. how damaging is this for democrats and the president that you have people in the party showing little support or now

distancing themselves in large part for the sake of mid terms? you have 39 democrats in the house who voted for a republican plan. how defeating. >> it is potentially very damaging unless they can stabilize the system and public assessments of the system. the reality, fred, we're living in a more parliamentary area of politics, voting more for the party and less for the individual. if obama can't restore more public faith in his administration and leadership, that's going to hurt democrats in 2014 and 2016. >> how does he do that? visiting various cities and professing, you know, i made some mistakes, i'm going to fix the problem, this is going to be good for you, that doesn't seem like that's going to be enough. >> the short answer is they have to make this work. the answer to almost all their problems to the extent they have answers are getting more people signed up through the system and creating a constituency for the program. they face doubts all the way

through as allen will agree in polling whether this will benefit me and my family. never been able to get a majority of americans to say that. what they need is to produce evidence that this will tangibly benefit voters that are skeptical of many of the things government tries to do. >> professor, are these problems, the problems at hand with obama care, really going to define this president's second term? >> well, they could. but all this talk about the president being finished and doomed, these instant pundit statements are almost always wrong. a month ago they were talking about the republicans being -- >> right, with the government shutdown. things change rapidly, particularly in the international arena. let's not forget what bill clinton said, it's the economy, stupid. if the economy improves, and as ron points out, if he can salvage something out of this health care bill, things could turn around dramatically.

but let's step back a moment because we're too consumed with the idea who is up and down at the moment. what's really going on here is a fundamental breakdown, not of obama, not of congress, but of the entire government. we have a government that simply isn't functioning to meet our most serious problems. immigration reform, which seems like it is so obvious, the american people are behind it. that's stalled. we're doing nothing on what may be humanity's greatest challenge, catastrophic climate change and the republicans aren't willing to work with the president to fix the affordable care act, they want to -- >> all of these things become road blocks in the next three years of this white house, talking immigration reform, talking about real road blocks with confirmation hearings, we're seeing that already from the federal appellate court level, perhaps even the federal reserve.

ron, this president wants to get things done. i would imagine everyone wants to get things done, but we're hearing about road blocks and how things may not get done. >> the stalemate is real. it fundamentally reflects two coalitions very different income position and ideology, very different visions for the country, and neither one of which has the strength to impose its agenda on the other, and they're having enormous difficulty finding areas of compromise. the legislative window for the president in the second term was narrow to begin with, given the fact that republicans are resistant to what he wants to do and are mostly barricaded into conservative districts where he had very little leverage to begin with. as his approval rating declines and democrats from marginal areas are becoming more antsy, it increases the odds we live through the stalemate, it is a fundamental stalemate making it difficult to move forward on any of the problems and others that allen mentioned.

>> allen lichtman, ron brownstein, gentlemen, always good to see you. appreciate that. >> thank you. >> thank you. 50 years after his death, newly discovered audiotapes from air force one revealing what happened as jfk was flown back to d.c. what lbj said to the president's mother just might shock you, that's next in the newsroom. you have time to shop for car insurance today? yeah. i heard about progressive's "name your price" tool? i guess you can tell them how much you want to pay and it gives you a range of options to choose from. huh? i'm looking at it right now. oh, yeah? yeah. what's the... guest room situation? the "name your price" tool, making the world a little more progressive. cheryl burke is cha-cha-ing in depend silhouette briefs for charity, to prove that with soft fabric and waistband,

the command center, the white house, and air force one. >> this is situation room. i read from the ap bulletin that kennedy apparently shot in the head, fell face down in the back seat of the car, blood was on his head. mrs. kennedy cried oh, no, and tried to hold up his head. >> reporter: earlier this year these rare audio recordings were discovered in the personal effects of general chesston clifton junior, an aide to john f. kennedy. >> they're all under guard. >> they want a post mortem that needs to be done under law at walter reed. >> reporter: a forensic video expert was tasked with remastering and piecing this together with older, incomplete copies. >> it is spine tingling, gives you goose bumps when you listen to it. >> reporter: the result of history unfolding in real time. >> that is correct.

that is correct. >> we're hearing several commanders communicating logistical information about interrupting everybody's plans because the president was assassinated and what it is going to take to get them to all come together and deal with this disaster. on the tapes, you can hear the military using code names, lbj is volunteer. >> waiting for the swearing in on the plane before takeoff. >> that's the volunteer? >> yes. >> that swearing in aboard air force one produced this iconic image of lbj, with a shaken jackie kennedy by his side. after air force one was in the air, crews could be heard scrambling to sort out logistics.

>> the casket is in the rear compartment and we suggest because it is so heavy that we have a forklift, a forklift back there to remove the casket. >> you can hear lbj giving condolences to rose kennedy. >> i wish there was something i could do. >> reporter: just as interesting as what is on the tapes is what is not. there are a number of obvious edits. >> i think it is simple. whoever created the tapes had certain parts of the conversations they didn't want anybody to hear. >> it is good for people to listen for themselves, see how things develop. sometimes see the roughness of history. >> reporter: john mcadams is a political scientist at marquette university. he says these are not likely to

be the last pieces of history to surface even 50 years after the assassination. >> the truth is a lot of stuff fell between the cracks. this particular tape which was in the possession of general clifton took almost a half century to show up. the historical record on all kinds of fronts is a bit more ragged than one might think. >> reporter: jake tapper, cnn, washington. >> watch cnn sunday at 9:00 p.m. eastern for the cnn film "the assassination of president kennedy." in miami, some fans are calling for the dolphins gm to get the boot. it is the latest fallout into the investigation into alleged bullying. investigators talked to jonathan martin almost seven hours! the details straight ahead.

lawyers for the nfl had a long talk with miami dolphins player jonathan martin, nearly seven hours, martin was in new york, detailing abuse he says he suffered in the locker room. fellow player richie incognito was suspended. despite the controversy, martin says he wants to play again. >> do, however, look forward to speaking directly with steven ross, tom gar fenkell and the dolphins organization at the appropriate time. this is the right way to handle the matter. beyond that, i look forward to working through the process and

resuming my career in the national football league. >> the episode has fans in an uproar, particularly in miami, especially with the team losing five of the last six games. some even want the general manager fired. let's bring in patrick risch, economics professor, contributor with the sports section of forbes. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> all right. you're joining us from another nfl big town, st. louis. we know the team has to handle internally the whole issue of bullying, but what kind of economic impact on the dolphins organization might this be having as pertains to this losing streak as the fans, ticket sales, image, all of that. >> there's no question, fredricka, there could be a short term loss aside from legal repercussio repercussions, if jonathan martin is indeed found wronged, there will be legal repercussions, he will be owed all of his contract. you mention the ticket side of things. the dolphins have done poorly at

the gate the last two years. this year they started off well, there were about 5,000 more fans a game, which means more ticket sales, concession, parking, so forth. my estimation is if they see things go downhill the rest of this season, they're going to see attendance fall back to where it was the last few years. that means 4 or $5 million lost that they otherwise could have earned. >> there's a lot of pressure, whether it be from fans, sports and lists, a lot of people saying someone is to blame, someone has to be held culpable. and the gm and coach of the team are among those that some say need to be fired. >> reporter: fredricka, there's no question in my mind, steven ross has to look at this situation very carefully. he is running a business, and with the ethnic slurs that took place, richie incognito last year, it is coming out he was involved in a fondling scandal, he fondled a female volunteer at a golf event, then after that he

was appointed to leadership council of the dolphins team. these things look badly. you have to worry as the owner am i going to scare off my african-american fans, my female fans, and more importantly how about the free agents? if you don't have leadership inhouse, why would free agents come to miami. he has to clean out. >> patrick risch, thanks so much, from st. louis. >> reporter: thank you. speaking of florida, but in a whole different way, florida has a big hole in it now. take a look at this home literally swallowed by another sinkhole. and it is not only happening in the sunshine state. we will show you where else when we come back. how to handle a saturday crowd. ♪ [ male announcer ] the parking lot helps by letting us know who's coming. the carts keep everyone on the right track. the power tools introduce themselves. all the bits and bulbs keep themselves stocked.

>> hi, fredricka, tiki barber and former wall street man? what do they have in common? one billion dollar industry can learn from another. next on an all new your money at 2:00 p.m. eastern. >> thanks so much, christine. that's moments away. meantime, florida, a sinkhole claims yet another home. oh, my goodness, the sinkhole popped up in the early morning hours in dundan, florida. a resident noticed his screen porch had fallen into a hole, it was at least 70 feet wide, 50 feet deep and growing. they say it should be filled in soon, though some may not be able to return to their homes. in chicago, check out this one, a sinkhole, part of a road on the city's far south side monday. crews closed the area to prevent any damage to vehicles, try to keep everyone safe, of course. they say a leaking water line

breached a sewer main and water simply washed it all away. so what is it like inside a sinkhole? david mattlingly takes us on a tour of devil's den, that's the name of a sinkhole in florida. >> reporter: it is just a few short steps down to an incredible underground site. >> this was the original cavity that eventually collapsed in. >> reporter: a massive sinkhole, carved out of solid limestone by drops of water. >> so this is what a sinkhole looks like from the inside. >> from the inside, yes, before you fill it with sand and dirt. >> if someone were living on top of this, they would be at risk? >> yes. >> reporter: this geologist, jerry black, says some homeowners might be surprised to find out how common they are. >> what are the chances of someone having a house in central florida and living on top of something like this. >> very good, not as close to

the surface as this, but you definitely have cavities of this size all over the state of florida. >> reporter: fossils found in this sinkhole show it has been around since the ice age. but no different, black says, than sink holes we see opening up today. these are just a few of his pictures, the one thing they all have in common is water. >> rainwater is going to turn into groundwater, and that's what's naturally acidic, that's the device that dissolves the limestone and will create the cavities. >> reporter: what is unusual about this sinkhole, it is easy to get inside, called the devil's den, it is open to tourists for viewing and diving. dive instructor takes me under for a look. i find this seemingly placid pool of water is anything but. >> the water has gone down considerably because of the aquifer, but also risen when we had hurricanes and tropical storms, it has risen another 45 feet. >> 45 feet? >> 45 feet.

>> so the water is constantly going up and down, depending on drought or hurricane. >> right. >> reporter: it is easy to see how the groundwater has silently wreaked havoc. i pass by limestone boulders as big as cars sitting on the bottom, and these forces are still at work, compounded by the demand for fresh water. >> it is progressively dropping yearly, and that's basically over the whole state of florida. the aquifer is getting lower and lower. >> reporter: perhaps most striking to me, how appearances of the sinkhole are so misleading. a single beam of sunlight reveals the kanch is below the water line with passage ways carved deep into the darkness. most disturbing could be the view from up top, the round opening deceptively small, little indication of the cavern

beneath my feet. >> there's no warning. >> it is that random and stud and could happen obviously overnight or at any time. >> reporter: it can and it does. with thousands of sink holes opening in florida every year. david mattlingly, cnn. >> incredible and insane. i'll be back in a half hour. fredricka whitfield. meantime, time for "your money." more money, more problems. i am christine romans. hazing isn't limited to frat houses, sometimes part of corporate america. the on-going controversy surrounding richie incognito puts a spotlight on bullying in professional sports. i spent time covering wall street. there's a behavior hardly left in the locker room. in the '8
