Simple Things in Mind
Last 31st of May, a huge sinkhole with a depth of 200-feet was formed in Guatemala City after a heavy rain caused by Tropical Storm Agatha. It actually swallowed a whole high-rise building and a house.
But this isn’t the first time that Guatemala experienced this kind of phenomenon. Way back February 2007, there was also a sinkhole with a depth of 300-feet in which it killed 3 people. It was caused by sewage water dissolving the underlying rock.
This year’s sinkhole has a size of 60-meters deep and 30-meters wide — large enough to actually swallow the Statue of Liberty which is 200-feet deep. And they say, that it could even get bigger. :( But I’m praying it won’t. So, that no more lives will be taken away by that sinkhole and no more damages will be cause.
Let’s all pray guys :)

Whoa! Scary talaga 'yan Buti dito sa Pinas eh iba yung composition ng mga lupa ng mga lungsod. Sana hindi na maulit 'yan. Pero mukhang imposible eh. Dapat maghanap sila ng way para hindi mag sink sa lupa yung flood waters. O kaya wag sila maglagay ng heavy structures above ground.
sad to such...really.
