Looks like the Mail is about three years too late. Here's the original news footage from February 2007.

Nope- this is a new one, as per the BBC article.

Clearly, there is a problem with the foundations of Guatemala... Not a good place to be living right now...

Except that clearly isn't the same hole = you fail.

Just so long as one of these wasn't spotted climbing out of it-



Really put me in mind of that movie scene!

Maybe they could pipe BP's oil slick into it- give something back!

Seriously, though- they'll have to fill it somehow. The risk of further collapses around the edge of the hole could be severe.

What was done with the 2007 hole?
