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.

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:
