Woman Nearly Survives After Massive Boulder Crashes Into Hawaii Home

A woman nearly escaped death after a 5-foot massive boulder came barreling into their home in Hawaii on Sunday, Jan. 29 night.

Caroline Sasaki was walking into her living room in Honolulu on Sunday night when a massive boulder traveled down from a nearby hillside and plowed through a cinderblock wall outside the house, scraping the family's car, before crashing through the living room and into a bedroom, People reported.

The boulder missed Sasaki just barely as she walked toward the couch to watch TV. According to Sasaki, she and her family had just moved into the home this month.

"I heard the loud boom, and apparently, the boulder passed right in front of me, which I didn't know," she said. "I didn't see it. All I heard was the boom and then somebody asking me if I was okay."

At the time of the incident, there were three others in the house. However, like Sasaki, none were injured in the incident. An investigation into the incident is underway to determine how the boulder crashed through the home and where it came from. The rock remains inside the home as of Monday, Jan. 30, NBC News reported.

"Basically, I'm in shock," Sasaki said. "I refuse to look at the videos, so I — I'm not sure how close — but everybody's telling me I'm lucky."

She added, "God is with me."

According to local residents, the area has undergone a lot of changes in recent years. A cement wall now holds up the steep hillside near Sasaki's home. Sasaki added that they are many boulders on the nearby hills that can roll down and instantly kill anyone.

"There was a concern before this even happened," Sasaki said.

"At least one of them could have been killed instantly," longtime resident Craig Tomita said.

He added, "There was so much adrenaline flowing that it just brought me down for a while."

According to Sasaki's family, the insurance adjusters still have to come to the home to assess the damage, and as of Monday, the boulder remains in their residence.
