Guatemalan sink hole

A much more dramatic and devasting sink hole than the Mill Creek examples (Spirn article), this 330' deep sink hole shows again the effects of bad water management planning (Feb 07). Residents of this poorer neighbourhood say they heard tremors and shaking for months before the incident. Several homes were destroyed and news reports say that three people are missing. Source is pruned.blogspot.com, an interesting news site for landscape and design.
