Consider:
This is not a photoshop.
The hole is estimated at over three-hundred feet deep.
This is not man-made, or related to anything man-made in the area.
At random, it swallowed an entire house and it's family. Bodies have not been recovered.Discuss.

Note: If nobody turns up anything, and/or there's interest, I've got related links. I'm just curious if... You're curious.

Sorry for the family though. Talk about freak accident?

Edit: "I wonder if the 15 year old closed her eyes and tried to will herself awake from the nightmare as they all plummeted 330 feet into darkness, stink and dirt."

Damn... O_O

This is some awesome Shit.
Guatamala city, 300 feet deep hole. The 3 people who fell in it drowned in the sewage down there. Apparantly the hole transmits a horrible sound which echoes and amplifies. And it smells.

But like, geez, a 300 feet deep hole... And in the bottom a river of sewage. Good shit.

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala - A 330-foot-deep sinkhole killed at least two teenagers as it swallowed about a dozen homes early Friday and forced the evacuation of nearly 1,000 people in a crowded Guatemala City neighborhood. 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.

Rescue operations were on hold until a firefighter, suspended from a cable, could take video and photos above the hole and officials could use the documentation to decide how to proceed.

The dead were identified as Irma and David Soyos, emergency spokesman Juan Carlos Bolanos said. Their bodies were found near the sinkhole, floating in a river of sewage.

Their father, Domingo, was still missing, according to disaster coordinator Hugo Hernandez.
