There is conflicting information so I will try to weed out the crap
as the time passes. Some sources were saying a security guard was the
only fatality. This is very sad if there were any deaths in the
Guatemalan sinkhole, however this happened at an intersection so things
could have gone much worse, especially considering how deep this beast
of a sinkhole was. The Guatemala Crater will most likely be remembered
for a long time to come as ones this deep are rarely seen. As it
stands now they are estimating it is at least 18 meters wide, and 60
meters deep.
Update#1: According to a local named “Les” There used to be a house
on the corner, and there was possibly up to three people in the house
during the time of the Guatemala sinkhole. This is turning out to be
more tragic than originally thought, however I still think this could
have gone much worse being that it was in an intersection in the large
city of Guatemala City.
Update#2: A body was just recently pulled from the giant sinkhole in Guatemala City, which has now been measured to be over 200 feet deep.
Update#3: A viewer was asking for the Guatemala Sinkhole Coordinates, and it is roughly in the north eastern part of the city at: 14° 39′ 7.5″ N, 90° 30′ 21.5″ W
Update#4: The Guatemala City Death Toll is up to 150 from Tropical Storm Agatha, mostly from flooding and landslides. According to the breaking news articles, it seems only one man has actually died from the sinkhole itself
