    Guatemala sink hole: real or fake?

    I can't help but think its fake.

    At least 115 people have died after a tropical storm battered Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador over the weekend, officials in those countries reported.

      M geology training is suspect, but I don't remember the earth being hollow.

          Sinkholes are not unheard of in Guatemala, but that picture looks fake. Here are a couple pics of the 2007 sinkhole there:

              They had one like that a few years ago, too. Apparently that open sewer system underground has quite the appetite.

                      That's okay. It was sort of swallowed whole by the site this morning.

                          It sure is being reported all over as an actual occurance. Wow.

                              Auqestion I have not had answered: why does it look like it ends in space? It looks like a hole into a hollow sphere, with empty space underneath. Shouldnt I see brown all the way down?

                                  You should see anything beyond where light reaches.

                                      The more suspicious thing to me is how perfectly circular the hole is. Is that how they normally occur?

                                          But the light ends abruptly vs. fading. Thus I think it's photoshopped.

                                              LOL. I'm sure there's an elaborate reason why they needed to Photoshop a picture for this story.

                                                  especially on this picture,



                                                  I mean, the light just stops. So weird.

                                                      That one is the sinkhole from 3 years ago....

                                                          There is an underground river/sewer; that's what has eroded the dirt.
