Anyways,at the end of the day,I limp over to my colleagues' spot,and he mentioned the Sinkhole tragedy that has happened(we talked a little about it over lunch,now he's gonna show me pics and the news)
This happened in Guatemala ladies and gents. Not a pretty sight AT ALL.
Death toll estimated 175 and going up. Hurricane Agatha is the cause for this tragedy.
I sort of know a Guatemalan (My sisters' friend,Chinese Guatemalan btw) I sure hope her family is safe and sound.
Pic 1: close to the hole,you can see a house or 2 can fit snugly in there (Pic courtesy of Getty images on dailymail.co.uk)
Zoom out a bit,and you can REALLY see what a monster this Sinkhole is!(again from Getty,dailymail.co.uk)
While Googling,I found this image that explains how a sinkhole happens. I didn't open the website source,so I cite Google. Moral of the story?don't live over caves with limestone.
But hey,not all sinkholes are bad.Ancient ones such as this has provided a pretty neat mini valley type pretty scene. I gotta find out where this is (think about that cartoon, the land before time and you sorta think it's a massive sinkhole when you look at this pic) Citing Google coz I was lazy to open the website.
