Sink Hole in Guatemala- History Repeats? Or Photo Mixup?

The following are two similar sinkholes formed in Guatemala City, one this weekend and the other one in 2007. You will be amazed to see the similarities.

CNN reports late last night that "115 people have died after a tropical storm battered Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador over the weekend". CNN adds: "In the northern part of Guatemala City, the downpour created a giant sinkhole that swallowed up a space larger than the area of a street intersection. Residents told CNN that a three-story building and a house fell into the hole". The following is a copied photo from the CNN website (For original high quality image visit CNN website).

The following is a Februaly 26, 2007 National Geographic report:

Giant Sinkhole swallows Guatemala Homes. "After fumbling for weeks, part of a poor Guatemala City neighborhood plummeted some 30 stories into the Earth on Friday"
