At what first appears to be another cleaver Photoshop is actually a sinkhole which appeared on the 23rd of May, in the middle of a street intersection of Ciudad de Guatemala.
A sinksole is a natural depression (or hole) in the surface topography caused by the removal of bedrock or soil, often both, by water. The process can be slow, but sometimes appear suddenly, such as in this example where an entire house was engulfed. The cause of which was the underground torrents created by the storm Agatha.
One local newspaper is reporting that one person has died, but as yet this is unconfirmed. Some neighbors claim that a whole three-story building and a house fell into the hole.
