According to 58-year-old Zhang Fengrong, at 2am on the day in question he heard a loud roaring sound coming from outside. When he went to investigate he was stunned to discover a huge pit, the depth of which is unknown, opening up before his eyes. Fengrong said he and several relatives had tried to measure the depth of the pit using a rope attached to a heavy iron, but after they used up the 40-meter long rope the iron still hadn't hit ground. "It used to be land for vegetables, but in a blink the land disappeared along with several fruit trees," said Fengrong's son Zhang Shiyin. Shiyin said when the sinkhole appeared he rushed outside when he heard his parents cries. At that point, he sais, the chasm was only 3 meters in diameter but it soon quickly enlarged with the hole stopping less than a meter from the house.
A man inspectas a sinkhole formed in a house on July 19, 2011 in the north of Guatemala City. When neighbors heard the loud boom overnight they thought a cooking gas canister had detonated. Instead they found a deep sinkhole the size of a large pot inside a home in a neighborhood just north of Guatemala City. The sinkhole was 12.2 meters (40 feet) deep and 80 centimeters (32 inches) in diameter, an AFP journalist who visited the site reported. Police, members of the country's natural disaster office and water utility company officials came to visit the site. Sinkholes, formed by the natural process of erosion, can be gradual but are often sudden. Guatemala City, built on volcanic deposits, is especially prone to sinkholes, often blamed on a leaky sewer system or on heavy rain.
