Guatemala homes swallowed by hole

Several houses and at least one lorry have been swallowed by a giant sinkhole in a poor district of Guatemala City.
The hole is said to be more than 100m (330ft) deep. Residents said they had felt the earth shaking and heard loud noises before the houses collapsed.
More than 1,000 homes were evacuated in the area. The national emergency agency said there had not been any casualties.
Officials said the sinkhole had probably been caused by a saturated sewer main.
"I was in my house and I started to hear booming and I heard the earth shaking, and then I realised the houses had collapsed [into the sinkhole]," neighbour Maria Rivas was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.
Officials had initially urged residents to stay at home on Thursday night, but later decided to move them to temporary shelters.
Three people who had officially been declared missing turned up later, national disaster co-ordinator Hugo Hernandez said.
Mayor Alvaro Arzu said the sewers were now being repaired and help was being offered to those affected.
瓜地馬拉住宅被洞吞噬最後更新︰ 2007年2月23日，GMT 19︰47，星期五
在瓜地馬拉市的某個貧困地區，出現一個巨大的坑，吞噬了幾間房屋以及至少一輛貨車。
據說，這個洞深度超過100公尺(330英尺)。附近居民說，在房子倒塌之前，他們已經感到地面搖晃，並且聽到吵雜的噪音。
超過1000個家庭被從此地區撤離。國家危機處理單位表示，沒有任何傷亡。
當地政府表示，洞的生成原因可能與破裂的大排水管（汙水管）有關。
「我在房子裡，開始聽到隆隆的聲音，又聽見地面震動，接著，我感覺到房子倒塌進一個大洞中」美聯社引用了附近居民 Maria Rivas 所說的。
政府最初希望居民在週四夜晚留在在家中，但之後決定將居民撤至臨時避難所中。

Two teenage siblings were killed and their father was still missing Friday after a giant sinkhole swallowed about a dozen houses in a crowded Guatemala City neighbourhood.The hole, about 100 metres deep, was likely caused by a leaky sewer main and recent rains, said Eddie Sanchez, the director of Guatemala's Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology.
After the hole appeared early Friday morning, loud noises could be heard emerging from within it and the earth around it shook. Sewage smells wafted in the area.
The two bodies were found near the enormous fissure, floating in a river of sewage.
The dead were identified as Irma and David Soyos, said emergency spokesman Juan Carlos Bolanos. Their father, Domingo, was still missing, according to disaster coordinator Hugo Hernandez.
The sinkhole sucked up homes in a matter of moments, witnesses said.
"I was in my house, and I started to hear booming and I felt the earth shaking, and then I realized that the homes had collapsed," said Maria Rivas, who lives nearby.
Police evacuated 1,000 nearby homes and moved residents into makeshift shelters in schools and a police station.

From National Geographic News.以上。
雖然當局所說的，未必就百分之百是事實，
說不定是外星人打的洞也未知......
不過，至少不要再認為地底下的水與地面上的人無關......
另外，對「洞」有興趣的人，可以看看這個：「世界七個不可思議的洞」

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
回覆刪除Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
