I have to admit that at first I thought this was a "photoshopping gone bad", but it turns out it's actually true what you see here.... A huge 60 meter deep 'sinkhole' in Guatamala City that swallowed a three story building.... 
A sinkhole is a natural depression caused by the removal of underground soil by water. Usually, it happens when the substrate is formed by limestone, carbonate rock, salt beds or any other rock that is easily eroded by water streams.
The process could be slow, but sometimes the land just cracks open without notice. In this case, it happened suddenly, swallowing an entire three story building.
The cause: Massive underground water torrents created by tropical storm Agatha.
