It is frickin' wild isn't it?

Looks to me like someone pissed God off.

I was thinking the same thing. That is crazy. It seems so perfectly round

I was curious to see what were the biggest sinkholes ever recorded and came across this:

And you will see Guatemala City is already on there from one that happened back in 2007. Note to self: No vacationing in Guatemala City.

I've had nightmares of sitting on the toilet and this happening.

how funny....I always figure if we ever have a tornade...please don't let me be on the toilet or in the shower heehee
I know a few people I would have liked to be sucked into that hole

Not to get nerdy, but from a geological standpoint, it's pretty interesting that probably 200' of vertical rock face, is completely uniform. No different layers or segments, unlike if you go look at some of the other deep sinkholes in mrdc's post.

This is really scary....Why is that happening?

 

[reefraff]

Believe it's explained in the story. Water rushing underground undermines the deep soil to the point everything collapses.

I cant help but to say it, man that thing is round! Makes you almost want to believe it was dug before and then washed out.

 

[speg]

There would be no mistake or question in hell once it showed itself. The same with God.

 

[oceankid]

Really really scary! How if you fall in hole?

They should fence it in and dubb it as the world's largest wishing well. Charge admission of course!
