The biggest sinkhole ever.

Holy Cow!

This is an image of the sinkhole that opened up in Guatemala City over the weekend as a result of a tropical storm.

It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. Like the one where aliens burn a hole in the crust of the planet from space. Or maybe like the one where the supervillain activates his seismo ray device and chews up the heart of a city. Or maybe like the one where the hero realizes that all of what he thinks is real is actually a computer generated illusion.

Astonishingly, no one was killed when the sinkhole opened up, although it did swallow part of a building.
