  • The pit of DOOM!

    Surprised someone hasn't linked to this already...

    The 30m-diameter sinkhole opened up in a northern district of Guatemala City, with residents blaming the rains and substandard drainage systems. Local reports said one man was killed when the building was swallowed. In 2007, three people died when a similar sinkhole appeared in the same area.

      Ahem.

      The Geography of the area, as well as a poorly engineered/ built sewer system is what causes these... it usually takes years for these issues to manifest themselves.

      I stayed just a few blocks from this latest one: fortunately it was in 2008, but when they get that big it really doesn't matter - it's simply a matter of time.
