How do you fix a sink hole this big?
 
This is the most amazing and horrific sink hole I have ever seen! And after the shock of it, I got to thinking- how in the world can you fix something that massive? You could just fence it off to keep people from falling in, but it would just continue to erode and get larger.

Check it out!

It's in Guatemala, and opened up right after tropical storm Agatha passed.

That's one helluva sink hole! It looks like it was perfectly drilled. Absolutely crazy that it swallowed a couple buildings with it too!

I say we run a pipe from the Gulf and dump all the oil in there. Then call up Moët & Chandon to place an order for one very large cork.

It was clearly made by aliens. Agatha is just the cover story.

No... HAARP.

They'll kill you now that you know. Run. Hide.

Very carefully

It's going to take a lot of Spackle to fill that sinkhole...

Don't fill it, just sell tickets to the Journey to the Center of the Earth.

In looking at the hole further, I am amazed by what appears to be almost perfectly straight sides to the hole. To the best of my recollection, sink-holes typically have sloped sides.

Also, I was astounded by the amount of rainfall the area got:

Agatha dumped more than three feet of rain on Guatemala and El Salvador over the weekend...
