So my boyfriend and I were talking about Guatemala and the volcano that erupted this week (which is about 30 miles from his dad's house)... I was googling the situation and came upon a few stories about the sinkhole:

    My husband said - that's so fake. And I just looked it up online.

    Nope, not fake.

    This reminds me of a book I once read (I forget the name) and in the story these huge holes appeared all over the earth.

    They were immensely deep and, to cut a long story short, these holes led directly to hell. It freaked me out a little bit looking at that picture, kind of reminded me of that story. :?
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    This had happened in Guatemala in 2007, it really looks like something out of a sci-fi/horror movie. Poor people!

    they don't operate that way down there, not in mexico anyway.
    i've seen holes in sidewalks that you could drop a fridge straight into the sewer.
    no warning signs of any kind.

    i am very curious how deep this thing is.

    I'm curious how deep it goes. You can see the walls, then suddenly black, like it opens up inside. Creepy...

    that is insanely deep.
    30 stories = 300 feet-ish?

    To put it in perspective, if the Statue of Liberty was in it, you wouldn't see it :shock: :?
    How tall is the Statue of Liberty? The Statue is 305ft. 1in. from the ground to the tip of the flame. It is the equivalent height of a 22-story building. In 1886, it was the tallest structure in New York.
