The Guatemala City Abyss

[Image: The abyss, courtesy of National Geographic News].

"After rumbling for weeks," we read, "part of a poor Guatemala City neighborhood plummeted some 30 stories into the Earth on Friday."
The gigantic sinkhole into which those homes plummeted is referred to as "the Guatemala City abyss."

(Via gravestmor. But don't miss The town at risk from cave-ins, earlier on BLDGBLOG).
