This sinkhole in the city of Guatemala happened way back around June 1st. Stories initially had it being caused by tropical storm Agatha. Later stores claim it happened because of a burst sewer pipe. Either way, you're in a real heap of trouble when a 30 story hole just opens out of nowhere in the middle of your capital.
Oddly, when this story first hit the net, it didn't generate anything more than website attention. I never saw any TV reports about it on the night it happened ( I looked ) and nobody on local radio ever discussed it. Pretty strange considering. Maybe they all thought it was a hoax at the time. It's certainly one for the ages.
