Couple's dream home collapsed into rubble because of botched basement dig - sending eight-months pregnant fiancee into early labour

They needed more space for their growing family and decided to extend into the basement, AIMS starting work in September 2012.
However, it all went horribly wrong on November 24 2012 after a heavy rain storm, said the judge.
Cracks which the couple had already noticed began to widen fast and 'they could actually hear the fabric of the house tearing apart'.
The couple and the upstairs tenant, who had a baby, hastily evacuated and watched as the building crumbled.

Undermining the foundations is NOT a god idea.
