Witnesses claim at least one man went down the hole.
Initial reaction from geologists was that the hole is a sinkhole.
Sink holes can appear suddenly but take thousands of years in the making.
Floodwater may have flushed away that mud - leading everything above it to collapse.
But according to a new report onDiscovery, the hole in Guatemala is not a sinkhole.
The hole in Guatemala City is not a sinkhole.
When you inspect it, it doesn’t even look like one.
The sides are clean and featureless, and the shape is crisp and geometrical.
It helps to know that Guatemala City is in volcanic country, not limestone country.
