Photos of Giant Sinkhole In Guatemala City

24 06 2010

Tropical Storm Agatha brought heavy rains to Guatemala City at the end of May 2010.

The rain caused a giant sinkhole in the city.

The sinkhole swallowed at least one three-story building!

It was a disaster.

Guatemala City is the capital of Republic Guatemala.

It is also the largest city in Central America.

Below are photos from AP.
