Piping pseudokarst. The 2010 Guatemala City sinkhole formed suddenly in May of that year; torrential rains from Tropical Storm Agatha and a bad drainage system were blamed for its creation. It swallowed a three-story building and a house; it measured approximately 20 m (66 ft) wide and 30 m (98 ft) deep.
That means leaking pipes could have gone unfixed long enough to create the right conditions for the sinkhole. (Related pictures: How Humans Can Trigger Earthquakes.)

There is no scientific term for what happened in Guatemala, he said, adding that he recommends the pit be dubbed a piping feature.
