A huge sinkhole has emerged in Guatemala after Tropical Storm Agatha pummeled the region. The photo released by the Guatemalan government is absolutely incredible. CNN is reporting that the sinkhole swallowed a three-story building and a house; killing a security guard.
The huge sinkhole appeared in Zone 2 of Guatemala City, and reports have said similar sinkholes may be in the process of forming.
Can you imagine the earth simply opening up and swallowing a building and a home? When you look at the width and depth of this massive sinkhole in Guatemala, it is actually quite difficult to fathom that this isn't a man made hole.
Sinkholes such as these aren't unheard of, however, and have even occurred in the United States; the more recently recorded ones in the state of Florida
Looks big enough for a parachute to be able to open.
Any BASE jumpers out there?
It is obviously
SINKHOLE DE MAYO !
Dang, 300ft deep?
The monster from Cloverfield could fall in and not be able to get out.
I was going to school at The Ohio State University when that happened. It was a water main leak on a major street.
The driver of the Mercedes wouldn’t wait while traffic was backed up and tried to quickly pass the line of cars backed up.
The cars were passed but not the reason for the backup. The dumb driver picture made the front page.
It is surprising, isn’t it ... :-)
Yeah, and what a big pit it is ... :-)

That wasn’t Agatha. Some jerk at that location divided by zero.
Thanks for the link.

Interesting manifestation of a phased array satellite based weapon system. <;^0
