GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala - A 330-foot-deep sinkhole killed at least two teenagers as 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 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.

 

Rescue operations were on hold until a firefighter, suspended from a cable, could take video and photos above the hole and officials could use the documentation to decide how to proceed.

 

The dead were identified as Irma and David Soyos, emergency spokesman Juan Carlos Bolanos said. Their bodies were found near the sinkhole, floating in a river of sewage.

 

Their father, Domingo, was still missing, according to disaster coordinator Hugo Hernandez.

my brother would say that his titan would crawl out of that! But I know better cause I have had to pull him out of the mud 2 or 3 times and then drove my truck through the same mud whole!

only if it was a military hummer, with winch. It looks like it opens up to a big underground cave in those website pics

It's hard to believe that 1000 people lived there in proportion to the sizes of the vehicles.

DOM. Close that hole..

I've seen those same pictures on other websites.. but the story isn't ever the same. Heck, the country even changes. One says it was caused by an ancient underground river in Brazil.

 

Looks a Little "suspect" to me. If it swallowed a dozen homes, they must have been about the size of a sheet of plywood. (which from the looks of the surroundings might just be possible)

 

Makes me wonder what the real story was.
