Above: A picture from Barbados Free Press, originally from The Nation newspaper. Read their story: "Just a matter of time!"









Above: Four pictures submitted by a reliable friend. The pictures themselves were taken by Steve Sandy. The first two pictures show construction or excavation works going on in the area immediately behind(?) the collapse. From what little I've heard and know, the construction or excavation was in progress before the collapse.



Above: A video of the Brittons Hill cave-in from Voice of Barbados Radio (VOB 92.9)

Above: Another picture from Barbados Free Press. According to BFP, the photo was from Nation News. Notice the car being hauled out of the cave. Notice the size of the car in comparison to the size of the cave.
