A Long Island woman fell into an overflow cesspool in her backyard Thursday — leaving her screaming for help and fearing for her life on her birthday.

Danielle Tammone, now 47, plunged eight feet at her Bohemia home as her golden retriever Daisy watched in terror while she shrieked for help.

“It happened so quickly — my feet just sunk a little bit, but it was like seconds. I didn’t even have time,” Tammone told 1010 WINS.

“And then I was just ‘hoop!’ down the hole. Just in the ground.”

Tammone began to slowly make sense of her surroundings while in a state of shock. 

“Okay… what just happened?” she asked herself. “Like, where am I? Alright I’m in the ground. You’re in a hole, wow.” 

As she began to panic, her thoughts raced toward death. 

“And then the panic starts, because you’re like wow I could die today. This could not end well. I could be buried alive.”

Tammone screamed for help and her neighbors, whom she had never met before, quickly rushed to her rescue and dialed 911. 

The stone cesspool was partially crumbing, leaving lawn sod dangerously dangling over Tammone as she yelled out.

Her neighbors urged Tammone to keep screaming while desperately searching the yard.

“At first, we thought she was in the shed or something. We were not looking on the ground,” Christine Chanowsky told CBS. 

“And they said keep screaming, don’t stop screaming,” Tammone said. 

Chilling backyard video obtained by 1010 WINS shows the heroic duo sprinting over and promising aid.

“Oh my God, she fell into the ground,” one neighbor cried out, adding, “we are on the phone with 911.” 

“You’re going to be fine, Danielle. They are on their way,” the other reassured her.

The harrowing ordeal triggered raw emotion for Chanowsky, who was immensely relieved her neighbor survived unharmed.

“Firemen, cops, ambulance, special unit, EMTs — they were wonderful,” she told CBS.

“I was tearing up. I was crying. As soon as she got out of the hole, just gave her the biggest hug,” Chanowsky said.

First responders hauled Tammone from the pit using a ladder after the tense ten-minute nightmare.

Battered but resilient, Tammone — a physical therapist — is now on the mend.

“And they all sang happy birthday to me. It was great,” she beamed.

It remains unclear whether sewage was inside the pit.
