The 2010 Guatemala City sinkhole was a disaster in which an area approximately 65 ft across and 300 ft deep collapsed swallowing a three-story factory. The sinkhole occurred for a combination of reasons, including Tropical Storm Agatha, the Pacaya Volcano eruption, and leakage from ruptured sewer pipes.

Mariela Castañón, a reporter for the daily newspaper La Hora, reported that the ground collapsed suddenly, taking a three-story house that was used as a factory, and possibly a security guard, along with it. Electricity poles were also sucked in.

The sinkhole's collapse in Guatemala City's Zona 2 left at least 15 dead, and a further 300 residents' lives were put at risk. Because of the role played by sewage pipes in the sinkhole's collapse, geologists have demanded that the government inspect the sewer system more regularly.
