Guatemalan Sinkhole

As a former geologist... that is the neatest, cleanest, most concentric sinkhole I've seen in my life. Something tells me skynews is about to be made a fool of. I'm sure a sinkhole appeared, but I'd bet a hundred bucks that's a fake photo.

I dunno, it's AP Credited and used everywhere. Is it possible that it just looks like a better circle than it is due to the buildings that are overlapping it a bit? Their 2007 sinkhole looked pretty much the same with a bit wavier outside edges.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one in that mindset.
