Caroline Sasaki was practically shocked after a massive boulder, measuring five feet tall and wide, smashed through the cinder block wall of her home with the odds of being run over.
The video of a security camera installed inside a house located in Honolulu, captured the exact moment in which a fragment of rock that presumably fell from a hillside rolled at high speed and broke the wall of a house to continue long until the room where a woman remained who fortunately was unharmed.
“All I heard was the noise when the sliding door glass broke, so I stepped back and I guess it went right through me,” the scared woman’s husband described during an interview with the KITV 4 television network.
Owners of other homes in the area believe the incident is the result of excavation work taking place nearby.
“It has never happened before, heavy rain and hurricane warnings nothing. So, rocks never fell. We had some problems with them carving the mountain, and I don’t know if that’s the cause,” said Caroline Sasaki.
For his part, the owner of the development, Bingning Li, ruled out that the project carried out by his construction company had anything to do with the dangerous incident.
“This is from way up there, I looked at one of those rocks about 50 feet from the top of the property and landed there. Then I went down here, then the rock hit one of the cables that was supposed to stop it, but the cable snapped. That took a lot of energy from him, otherwise the damage would be much greater, ”he expressed.
It should be noted that the family of the house affected by the landslide of the enormous rock had only been back for a week to enable it after an arduous restoration work carried out on it.
Now, several families remain afraid that another rock could affect the buildings where they live.
