Guatemalan Sinkholes

We’re not sure what it is about Guatemala City, but it must sit on top of Hell’s Caverns or something. Just today a gigantic sinkhole suddenly opened up in the city, the second major one in the last few years. We’re happy to report that there seem to have been no casualties. See more photos of these two unbelievably scary incidents in the gallery below.

They say the first was due to a broken sewer line, and claimed the lives of 3 people. The second one, the most recent one, is due to huge rainfall from Tropical Storm Agatha. Both opened up suddenly, in the middle of a major city. Scary.
