Guatemala Crater Swallows Building. Following Tropical Storm Agatha sweeping through Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras this weekend, a giant sinkhole has opened up Guatemala.
The sinkhole swallowed a three-story building, and is believed to have also swallowed at least one person. The enormous hole in the ground is reportedly 200 feet deep and approximately 100 feet in diameter.
The Guatemala Government recently released an aerial photo of the 2010 Guatemala Sinkhole Crater. The Guatemala sinkhole is so enormous that it doesn’t even look real. Some websites even published articles suggesting that the photo was not real, and was instead a Photoshopped image. However, the Guatemala crater is very real, and has caused very real damages.
In addition to the 2010 Guatemala Sinkhole Crater, Tropical Storm Agatha also caused death and destruction in the form of flooding and mudslides. There have been approximately 146 deaths as a result of the tropical storm, with most of them in Guatemala.
This huge Guatemala crater according to Gizmodo “is a natural depression caused by the removal of soil by water. This process can happen slowly, but sometimes the land just cracks open. In this case, the sinkhole happened suddenly.”

I dont know about you but i see two diffrent holes. The airial pic of the one with the statue of liberty is in the side of a building and on the side of a three way road. The bottem airial pic is in the middle of a four way intersection, plus the buildings look nothing alike.

Seriously?!? If this really is a fake (as it certainly looks like it is…), how desperate is the media to churn out news stories for attention?
apparently the worlds experts on hydro-geology and graphics have spoken ;) Yeah It’s fake, they just decided to make up a fictitious news story about a giant crater because they had nothing better to do. Shakes head and chuckles.
Is this a joke??? The city block is hanging over the hole without a scratch on it. Its impossible. LOL This is definitely photoshopped.
Although they did announce an earthquake in Quatamala as they did in Ecuador. So maybe this was to prove it happened and why? LOL These guys are going off their rocker.
LOL
this looks shooped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few craters in my time
