The Guatemalan Sinkhole

Wow. The Guatemala City sinkhole is now estimated to be 18 meters wide and 100 meters deep, in short, about 60 feet wide, and over 350 feet deep. So, a 737 couldn't quite fit in the hole, but a three story building dropped to the bottom. This is a National Geographic photo of the hole.
