That doesn't even look real! If I had not seen the pics on other new sites I'd swear it was photoshoped. That's some crazy stuff.

Sinkhole in Guatemala: Giant Could Get Even Bigger

A huge sinkhole in Guatemala City (map), Guatemala, crashed into being on Sunday, reportedly swallowing a three-story building—and echoing a similar, 2007 sinkhole in Guatemala.
The 2010 Guatemala sinkhole has likely been weeks or even years in the making—floodwaters from tropical storm Agatha caused the sinkhole to finally collapse, scientists say.
The sinkhole appears to be about 60 feet (18 meters) wide and about 30 stories deep, said James Currens, a hydrogeologist at the University of Kentucky.

I thought the same thing when I saw it. Luckily I first saw it on Fox News so I knew that they checked it out before reporting on it. It looks like someone bored a hole in the ground. Perfectly round!Originally Posted by KimberPB
After looking it seems that they have had their share of sinkholes! http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&s...og&sa=N&tab=wi

Yep I saw that this was not there first one. It is wild how it's like someone just drilled a hole straight down. You'd think it'd have more of a cone shape. Makes you wonder what was under there before it collapsed or if there are more hidden underground caves, ect.

Looks like the hole that is swallowing up our tax money.

No, that one is too small!

Is Guatamala going to "Tip over, and capsize"?
No just fall in the hole and come out on the other side of the world.

It looks like the gateway to Hell, doesn't it?
One can understand how the ancient Maya and Aztec would throw offerings into the sinkholes, called cenotes, that dot Mesoamerica to appease the evil spirits they believed dwell down there.
Ob punchline: I don't think all of the highway maintenance units in all of Guatemala can patch that pothole.
Would be intriguing to send a UAV down in there to see what the extent of the cavern is. If it shows a throne of skulls, call me.
