A huge sinkhole caused by tropical storm Agatha, in Guatemala City, on Monday, May 31. A violent storm that whalloped Central America over the weekend killed more than 100 people and left a swath of destruction, officials said Monday. Tropical Storm Agatha, the first in a season of tempests that annually strikes the region, was especially brutal in Guatemala, where mudslides proved deadly.

How long after the hole appeared did the Mole Man emerge from his subterranean domain with his army of Moloids, intent on conquering the surface world? :teddyr:

That's a scary sight!  I saw an image of that somewhere else online but thought it was a fake without reading anything about it.  I just read something on Discovery's site saying that it's not technically a sinkhole:

Quote
The lion's share of the city is built on pumice fill -- ash flows made up of loose, gravel-like particles deposited during ancient volcanic eruptions. In places, the debris is piled over 600 feet thick, filling up what would otherwise be a v-shaped valley of faulted bedrock. For those peering into the deep dark depths wondering what might be at the bottom, it's either more pumice fill or bedrock. Mixed with a healthy dose of wreckage from the swallowed-up clothing factory.

Something similar happened in Guatemala in '07.  The pumice fill gets washed away by waterflow from stuff like water runoff and whatnot.
