Gigantic Sinkhole


In a time of special effects and CGI, it's hard to believe that the gigantic sinkhole in Guatemala is 100% real. But, it is, kids. It really is. The sinkhole, which spans a city intersection and goes 330 feet deep, was the result of Tropical Storm Agatha. The storm itself took the lives of over 175 people. Fortunately, the actual sinkhole didn't lead to any injuries (though it did swallow a clothing factory). It also earned instant Internet fame. Searches on "sinkhole" and "guatemala sinkhole 2010" were both off the charts. Curious searchers also sent lookups sky high on "what is a sinkhole" and "how does a sinkhole work." So just realize anything can happen at anytime so don't take things for granted. What do you think about this sinkhole?
