A very giant sinkhole swallowed an entire intersection in the Guatemala city. It caused due to the heavy rain downpour followed by a storm Agatha. The tropical storm Agatha made it's way on the Guatemala city by opening a hole that really looks like a "Gateway to the Hell" in the center of the city.

This massive sinkhole appears to be about of 60feet [18 meters] wide and about 300 feet[100 meters] deep. [The hight of statue of liberty without the stake part is around 151feet, so you can think now..] The 100 feet deep sinkhole swallowed up a big three story building.

The sinkhole found at the Guatemala city is not believed to be a true sinkhole, because by the difination a sinkhole can be said where topsoil or bedrock is washed from the earth's surface. However, in the photographs we can see that there is far grater than some topsoil washing away.

This kind of giant sinkhole occurred twice at Guatemala in 2007 and now in 2010.
