Portal to hell opens up in the middle of Guatemalan street

That's nothing. There are 4,000 of them in Blackburn, Lancashire. (OK, so those ones were rather small... but they did have to count them all.)
Ha! I finally get to use this again!

Maybe Courtney Love's band will show up.

And Sheryl Crow could perform "There Goes the Neighborhood". . .
 
They really should put up some Jersey barriers or sawhorses or something.

They have - around the whole neighborhood (now evacuated.) We've seen a sinkhole like this there before, and I think they worry (perhaps rightly) that--between the porous, eroded limestone underlying the city, the recent storm-related heavy rainfall, the decaying sewer system and the storm drains now clogged with volcanic ash--more of these might form in the vicinity.
 

This is not the first sinkhole I've seen over the years with such perfect roundness and I've even seen larger.
This does not shock me in the slightest. In fact what I do find shocking is the amount of people who are actually shocked by seeing it.


oh i have seen bigger.
but that this one dosnt seem to have a bottom.
:eek:
that i havent seen before.
seems to have opened into some very deep deep cave system.
has the depth even been measured yet?
 
the molemen from the old superman show??

at least this onewas only about 25 feet deep..

people in tennessee have been told if you see a sudden dip in the road to call it because there may be more of them to come.
hopefully nothing like that horror.

i read in one article it not only swallowed the intersection but a house and small three story building.
still dont know if anyone was in side or not.
:(

I figured they would, but that looked really odd with seemingly nothing to prevent people from going right up to the edge.
