GIANT Sinkhole! (Pics)

[1919_4_ME]

GUATEMALA CITY- A 330-foot-deep sinkhole killed at least two teenagers as it swallowed about a dozen homes forcing the evacuation of nearly 1,000 people. Officials blamed the sinkhole on recent rains and an underground sewage flow from a ruptured main.
The pit emitted foul odors, loud noises and tremors, shaking the surrounding ground. A rush of water could be heard from its depths, and authorities feared it could widen or others could open up.






:shock:

Only 330 feet straight down...

Now just in Guatemalan authorities are now filling that sink hole in for a new community pool... :banana:

Scary man... Looking at the layers of soil etc... I bet there was an underground cavern under there to start and when the main broke thats all she wrote...

The place reminds me of that deep cave in mexico.

Have you heard of a place called "Cave of the Swallows"?

Its only a 1,400ft deep hole in the ground.People jump into it all of the time.
