A brand new gateway to hell opened up rather unexpectedly in the middle of Guatemala City this weekend. Three people died, apparently drowned in an underground river of sewage.It seems that residents in the neighbourhood had been reporting strange tremors for some time and these have not abated since the sinkhole appeared. 'Illegal drains' have been mentioned in connection with the phenomenon. The story has been covered (with video) here by Polish TV news.
Update: I chuckled yesterday when V referred to this as "el culo de Judas". Appropriately enough, Telediario is referring to the affected citizens as damnificados. 40 families from el barrio san Antonio have had to be temporarily sheltered and Oscar Berger has been around to promise government assistance and ask for patience.
