Disturbing photos of sinkholes in Guatemala City and other parts of the world.
A A sinkhole is seen in downtown Guatemala City on May 31. Authorities blamed the heavy rains from tropical storm Agatha as the cause of the crater that swallowed a three-story building, and say they will also be conducting further studies to determine the cause. In April 2007, another giant sinkhole in the same area killed three people

Apparently, sinkholes have occurred several times in different areas of the world since the 1990's.
