Looks like the Dharma Initiative found a new way to study the energy buried in the ground

When C02 or carbon mixes with rain water forming carbonic acid. Rainfall makes the groundwater acidic as it travels into the ground. When it contacts carbonate rocks it dissolves it, eating away the rock. So the hole probably developed for a long time. The tornado probably made the surface collapse.

This one was in 2007 in Guatemala city. Even deeper!

According to my edumacated gf, Guatemala has a vast network of underground rivers and caverns. Add a poorly constructed sewer system washing out the ground, and you get a massive hole in the middle of town.

Upside? New tourist destination. Market it to the millionaire spelunking crowd or something.
