New video of a sinkhole that swallowed a Florida man has been released -- nearly five weeks after the dark pit opened up and killed the man as he slept.

The video offers the first glimpse of the sinkhole that officials estimate eventually grew to be 60 feet deep, according to NBC affiliate WFLA.com in Tampa. Officials recorded it with a small camera that was slipped into the unstable home.

It shows a bedroom floor that's almost entirely collapsed into the earth, even though its walls and ceiling remain intact.

The bottom of the pit that swalled Seffner, Fla., resident Jeff Bush on the night of Feb. 28 is not visible.

"I've been a basketcase the whole day, ever since I've seen it," Janelle Wheeler, who lived in the house with Bush, said after viewing the video. "It's just like, like you ripped off that Band-aid."

Her family is staying in a rental for the next few weeks, paid for by insurance, WFLA.com reported on Tuesday. 

Bush's remains were never found, and he was presumed dead.

Hillsborough County has condemned two other houses next to Bush's home due to their instability, WFLA said.

A Florida school district has released video that appears to show a bus driver kicking an autistic student down the stairs.

In the video released Wednesday by Hillsborough County schools, bus driver Stephanie Wilkerson, 42, stands behind an 8-year-old girl as she hesitates on the stairs. According to the sheriff's office, the student slaps Wilkerson, who then appears to use her foot to kick the girl in the back, causing her to fly down the stairs and onto the ground.

Wilkerson was fired after the Sept. 28, 2012, incident, which Tampa police say resulted in a broken ankle for the young girl, reported NBC affiliate WFLA.com. Wilkerson now faces aggravated child abuse charges, the station said.

"If a bus driver or teacher or anyone makes contact with a student that results in injury, we take that very, very seriously," Steve Hagerty, spokesman for Hillsborough County school district, told WFLA.com. "You are the adult. You have to show restraint. You are held to a very high standard. Pushing a student where they fall of the bus and injure themselves -- it is obviously beyond anything they are allowed to do."

Wilkerson has not spoken to any media outlets. WFLA.com attempted to reach her for comment, but was unable to. It's unclear whether or not she is represented by an attorney.

The girl's parents are suing the Hillsborough County school district, which has seen two special needs students die since the September bus incident, according to local media.

In October, 10-year-old Jenny Caballero, who had Down Syndrome, drowned in a nearby pond after wandering from her middle school gym class. In November, Isabella Herrera, a 7-year-old who was confined to a wheelchair because of a neuromuscular disorder, stopped breathing on her bus ride to school. An aide noticed during the ride that Isabella was in distress, but neither the aide nor the driver stopped the ride to call 911, Isabella's parents say.

The school district has created a task force to make sure children with special needs receive the proper treatment they need at school and en route to school since firing Wilkerson, Hagerty said.

SEFFNER, Fla. — A  man who jumped into a chasm and tried in vain to save his brother from a catastrophic sinkhole said Monday he was frustrated that authorities haven’t done more to retrieve the body — even as another sinkhole opened up just a couple of miles away.

“They said it was dangerous, but you see this heavy equipment, you see that?” Jeremy Bush, choking back tears, asked reporters. “The house is still standing. The only reason the house fell is because they put the machines on it.”

He said that his parents are “going through hell right now.”

The first sinkhole opened last Thursday night and engulfed Jeff Bush, 36, who was in his bedroom. Jeremy Bush jumped in to save him and had to be rescued himself by sheriff’s deputies.

Authorities have said that the cavity is so unstable that nearby houses are unsafe, and that it is too dangerous to send a crew to recover the body.

On Monday, the long arm of an excavator parked in the street dug carefully through the remains of the house. Once crews finish demolishing the structure, authorities can get a better look at the hole and figure out how to stabilize and fill it.

William Puz, a spokesman for Hillsborough County, said a crew would try later Monday to retrieve a china cabinet that was valuable to the family. The crew planned either to wrap the cabinet and lift it out or to send a worker in a bucket to save individual pieces.

He said the crew hoped to finish demolition by the end of the day.

Working gingerly, heavy equipment began pulling apart the house over the weekend, scooping precious belongings onto the lawn. A Bible, family photos, a jewelry box and a pink teddy bear were among the items saved.

Workers penetrated the walls leading to the bedroom on Monday and got their first look at the sinkhole, which engineers estimate is 30 feet wide and 60 feet deep.

Jeff Bush lived in the house, outside Tampa, with his girlfriend, their 2-year-old daughter and two other people. The others in the house were unharmed.

Jeremy Bush said that his mother was waking up every hour and crying in bed.

“No one ever wants to bury their kid before they go,” he said.

Meanwhile, county officials received more bad news late Monday afternoon as another sinkhole was discovered less than two miles away, NBC’s WFLA reported.

Seen here, the second sinkhole in Seffner showed up about two miles away from the first deadly one. No one was injured.

The 10-feet deep sinkhole is located behind a home and officials say thus far there have been no injuries or structural damage.
