Just a few days ago, the Guatemala Sinkhole has caught all of our attention, And after geologist investigation announced that the Guatemala Sinkhole may be more than just that sinkhole and could be very dangerous. Neighbors who lived next the the Sinkhole are now feeling scared of what may happen next. One of the neighbors who is Maria Del Carmen De Ramirez who just lives next to the cavernous Sinkhole thinks of how everything happened during a clothing Factory was swallowed.
The Guatemala Sinkhole was around 66 feet (20 meters) and nearly 100 feet (30 meters) deep and almost had a perfect circle form when viewed from the top. This Guatemala Sinkhole opened up in Cuidad Nueva in May 30. Everyone near the Guatemala Sinkhole has already abandoned their home. Fear of recurrence of an even larger Guatemala Sinkhole is spreading as of the moment. There are still no continuing investigation with the Guatemala Sinkhole to re appear because no Tropical Storm has been reported to hit the city as of now.
I cant believe this. This seems like the begging of something worst. I think something is going to happen in 2012 (nt saying we are going to die) but its going to change the way we live forever. How in the world does a big hole like that just apper in the street? WTF!
This is a terribly written article. So many errors.
This is all part of the shaking predicted in the bible that is trying to get our attention and turn our trust in God insteaf of things or ourselves
terrible article, terrible photoshop.
come on people – wake up!
How could it happened?! Terribe
This is the beggining on the end of the world in 2012. First the haiti earthquake, then this?
Get ready for more eartquakes and volcanic eruptions, and finaly a huge flood in Florida.
I believe… don’t quote me on this but, sinkholes come from the deteriation of dirt from the water build-up underneath the cement there, then seeing there’s nothing really underneath it (no dirt or anything), i guess it (ground that the building was built on) just gave in =S.
sry to say, but please don’t put religious view in things like this… i don’t like the fact that D Fish is trying to say that we need to put our trust IN God…
woahhh.. didnt see that coming, now did ya?..
i can purley say that this is possibly all a considerable chain reaction from one earthquake.. only its affecting different areas in different ways
We are 2 volunteers from Michigan and were are willing to go in to that sinkhole and try to see what is down their. This is not a joke and we would be extremely delighted and anything that happens is on us and we go in their on our own risk. This is my number(763)276-9122. THIS IS TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN!

Large sewers were built in Guatemala City many years ago by tunneling methods very deep underground. Cars were used to remove the spoil and the workers using pulleys and a long rope. These sewers were intended to take the sewage going to Lago Amatitlan and divert it to the Managua River drainage. Guatemala City sits on a continental divide. This would offer a very good explanation for the current sinkhole and the one that formed in 2007. Underground piping is notorious for causing these types of cataclysmic occurrences.
Here’s a good article on this.

Not as sexy as the Mayan Calandar, but infinitly more probable.
