Guatemalan Sinkhole
In 2010, a devastating tropical storm named Agatha struck Guatemala City, and with it came a terrifying geological event—a massive sinkhole. From the aerial view, the sinkhole appears perfectly circular and impossibly deep, almost as if the Earth had been punctured by a cosmic force. Measuring around 65 feet in diameter and plunging over 300 feet down, this natural disaster shocked the world with its size and eerie symmetry.
What made the incident even more disturbing was the fact that an entire building disappeared into the abyss. Residents were left fearing what might come next, especially since Guatemala City is known for its unstable underground infrastructure. The photo captures not just destruction but also the fragility of human settlements in the face of natural forces. It’s a haunting image that stays with you long after you’ve seen it.
