Gigantic 100 meters deep hole appears in city. Gigantic 100 metres deep hole appears in city. Amazing pictures!"Giant sinkhole swallows homes in Guatemala City neighborhood; 2 killed JUAN CARLOS LLORCA GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala A 100-metre-deep sinkhole killed two teenage siblings when it swallowed about a dozen homes early Friday and forced the evacuation of nearly 1,000 people in a crowded Guatemala City neighborhood. Officials blamed the sinkhole on recent rains and an underground sewage flow from a ruptured main. The two bodies were found near the enormous fissure, floating in a river of sewage. The pit emitted foul odors, loud noises and tremors, shaking the surrounding ground. A rush of water could be heard from its depths, and authorities feared it could widen or others could open up. Edward Ramirez said he and other residents had been hearing noises and feeling tremors for about a month before the ground opened up before dawn, waking many in the poor neighborhood."

I don't know if such a thing could even happen in the US, but if it does... i wonder if standard homeowner's (or renter's) insurance would cover that. Crazy. |
