I read about this the other day. I believe it was on CNN, so I filed it under dramatic fluff. Well, here's the pictures. Amazing! Follow the link below.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.

Holy SMOKE! It is almost a perfect circle and appears to be almost bottomless from the photos I saw. But isn't, since they found two bodies, two teens who had apparently fallen into it during the collapse.
It looks like a proctologist's dream (or nightmare), one huge earthly anus! From what I read, it smelled like one too.
From Wikipedia.org:
Guatemala's highlands lie atop the boundary between the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates, and thus are subject to frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. Guatemala has 37 volcanoes, four of them active: Pacaya, Santiaguito, Fuego and Tacaná. The last major earthquake was on February 4, 1976, and killed more than 25,000 in the Central Highlands.
