2. Giant sinkhole swallows three-storey building in tropical storm

Downpours caused by Tropical Storm Agatha have created a giant sinkhole in Guatemala City, while throughout Guatemala officials have reported 120 dead and at least 53 missing.

The sinkhole, which formed in the northern part of the capital city, swallowed up a space larger than the area of a street intersection, CNN reported on Monday.

Residents told CNN that a three-storey building and a house fell into the hole.

A local newspaper reported that a private security guard was killed when the sinkhole opened up, but authorities had not confirmed the fatality.

Residents said a poor sewage drainage system was to blame for the sinkhole.
