How do you fix a sink hole this big?

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...

I'll have to start trolling the conspiracy web sites to see what they come up with. I can't decide between errant test of a space based energy weapon and an alien something or other.

I was thinking the same thing but in looking at sinkhole pictures online I'm seeing that it seems to be pretty common for big ones to have pretty straight lines and be surprisingly circular. Such as this one in Texas in 2003:

But even in looking at this one, you can still see some pronounced angle to what can be seen of the sides - especially in the upper left area of the whole. Plus, on this example, we are seeing a relatively small portion of the actual hole (due to the water).

But looking further, a cursory glance seems to indicate that at least towards the tops, the edges are pretty straight. However, I still think the Guatemala sinkhole is awfully straight-sided.
