Associated Press reports that a 330-foot-deep sinkhole killed at least two teenagers as it swallowed about a dozen homes early Friday and forced the evacuation of nearly 1,000 people in a crowded Guatemala City neighborhood. Officials blamed the sinkhole on recent rains and an underground sewage flow from a ruptured main.
The one hundred meeters deep hole opened in one one of the city's poorest and most overpopulated parts. The three who is missing is a 53 year old man, and two teenagers, one boy and a girl.
There was found a dead body down in the ... that surrounded the hole, but it is unclear if it's a victim after the accident.
Around the smelly hole people can still hear sounds and the ground is still shivering, the government fears that the hole will expand.
