May 31, 2010: New Guatemalan sinkhole
When gvidas forwarded along this shot from a NY Times blog, I thought, no, we've already had this shot in February 2007; but no, they say this is an entirely *different* precisely round sink hole eating up the roads and homes of crappy, downtrodden Guatemala City. They say this one is blamed on the tropical storm there, but the last one wasn't due to any storm. Very suspicious. Is something cutting secret holes in Guatemala? What could be their reasoning? |

Keep an eye out for very large pillars of rock appearing somewhere. Although I'm not sure how the rock-thief moved them from Guatemala to their new location.

I would not be walking around that..
They have to be man caused. There aren't a bunch of these spattered all around. They all end up in South American cities, where pavement and plumbing run. And it's after decades of the city being there. I'm surprised to see no pipes or plumbing running thru the sides. Could they just sort of be running into cesspools that dissolve away the under-dirt? Now the un-ded have direct access. |

You know how, sometimes, you'll poke a pie, with either a fork, or your finger... to see if it's ready to be eaten?
Yeah... What do you think Galactus does, prior to eating planets? ... We're screwed.

Strange that I cannot find a credible news source on it. There were a couple that just referenced the original article. Bummer.
