Whoa!!! GIANT sinkhole in Guatemala

Deep holes always interest man, I sense an urge to go to the edge and throw a rock into it. Bring plenty of measuring tape!

These are really interesting though, how does such a huge natural sinkhole have such clear cut edges like that? If I stumbled upon this IRL I'd never expect natural causes.
 
Someone divided by zero, apparently.
 
Sure would suck to standing in the intersection when that happened. I imagine my reaction would have gone something like this;

 
I have seen sinkholes that formed around sewer pipes or some other round object sort of mimic that shape as it grew, and I have also seen sinkholes swallow a house whole. Most of the ones I have seen have had a somewhat smooth wall on them, and if this was caused by water saturation/ degradation then it makes all that much more sense that it would be so smooth but I have certainly never seen one of this size!
 
Bloody hell.....giant earthworms? 2012? decepticons?
 
I think the shape has a lot to do with the disappearance of structural support for the dirt.
 
Anyone seen the silver surfer yet?
 
It's a WORM!THEY'RE SINKING CITIES WITH A GIANT WORM!
 
Dear worm : please sink Brussels next.
