This isn't Guatemala City's first giant sinkhole nor even it's deepest! A 100m hole opened up in 2007. If you search for "Guatemala sinkhole" you will (now) get images of two *different* sinkholes!
Protip: don't build your capital on top of swiss cheese.
There was a smaller sinkhole in my hometown a couple years ago. It was 20' wide and 15' deep and it was scary enough. Luckily it happened on a deserted street in the middle of the night, so no one was hurt. I remember my parents saying everyone in the city felt vaguely uneasy driving around, wondering if the earth would swallow them up.
I can't even imagine how you cognitively cope with huge sinkholes like that happening twice in three years.
They got a sandworm problem down there or something?
I know it's real but, it just doesn't look real, looks photoshopped.
