![[image loading]](http://gfx.dagbladet.no/pub/artikkel/4/49/493/493090/guatemala1_1172261903.jpg) That is a big hole! How the hell does a fissure do that? I would think a fissure would produce a crevice but not a circular hole. | ||

copy/paste ---------------------------- By JUAN CARLOS LLORCA, Associated Press Writer 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.

So the dirt supporting that land was slowly eroded away, and when it fell below critical strength, the ground just collapsed 330 feet? | ||

fuck it would suck to get devoured by one of those, terrible way to die, especially if you survived the fall somehow (if that is even possible, it might not be possible) imagine being stuck at the bottom of one of those | ||

There isn't much you can do about it. and to people wondering, the first sinkhole in 2007 was about 300 ft. deep. I had a class the semester called natural disasters and this was one of the events we studied, other than that I can't give you a better source. | ||

By the way I used to live like a 8 blocks from this one... know a family that live in the same block, thank God they are all just fine. Though they moved to the other side of the city for some time. | ||

How did they fix the first one?? Spanish: + Show Spoiler + Los trabajos de relleno se llevan a cabo en 3 fases. La primera fase consiste en la introducción de tuberías para reencauzar el agua que se mantiene en el fondo del hundimiento; la segunda fase contempla la perforación de 4 túneles de 50 metros de largo, con 50 centímetros de diámetro y una inclinación de 45 a 60 grados para introducir el lodocreto; y la tercera fase tiene por objeto el relleno del hoyo con lodocreto. Ojalá que esta tragedia sea una lección aprendida para las autoridades responsables y que en el futuro no se repitan experiencias similares. Translation: It took 3 steps: 1. They re-route the water with new pipes. 2. Then they made 4 tunnels of 50 meters long and 50 centimers wide with a slope between 45º and 60º, that to be able to introduce "lodocreto" (mud-concrete will be the literal translation) in the hole. 3. Fill the hole with the lodocreto. It is cost was $2,750,000 and the works last for around 8 months if I recall correctly. | ||

And it sure is creepy that this has happened twice in the same city.....what was the movie again with the giant worms? Dune? lol, or maybe this is the beginning of the Emergence Wars!!
