Guatemala Sink Hole a Mystery

This sink hole swallowed a three story building and appeared to be similar in size with the 2007 sink hole that also appeared in this country.

Sinkholes are natural depressions that can form when water-saturated soil and other particles become too heavy and cause the roofs of existing voids in the soil to collapse. In the case of Guatemala a burst sanitary or storm sewer may have been slowly saturating the surrounding soil for a long time before tropical storm Agatha added to the inundation resulting to the current sink hole.
