Guatemala City Sink Hole, swallowed a building-Video

This is the scene in Guatemala after a 200ft deep sink hole swallowed up a three-storey building.

The enormous crater appeared in the Central American country’s capital, Guatemala City, as it was being ravaged by torrential rain and mudslides during Tropical Storm Agatha.

Agatha, the first named storm of the 2010 Pacific season, slammed into Guatemala and neighbouring El Salvador at the weekend, dumping more than three feet of rain in the region. At least 123 people have died in Guatemala, and 59 others are missing, according to the government. Nine people were killed in El Salvador and 14 in Honduras, including a woman who was electrocuted as she was helped from her flooded home.

It is not the first time such sinkholes have appeared in Guatemala, images of a similar one from 2007 were flashed around the world.
