Holy Sinkhole, Batman!

This looks like something out of Doctor Who! Poor Guatemala. I'm sorry to hear about the deaths there.

Dear Weather: Stop attacking poor countries. They have enough to deal with already. Leave them be. Thanks.

The article I found said that it was a sinkhole caused by a 'tropical storm'. It didn't say what sort of storm, but I have to assumed it was earthquake-related. What else could cause a hole to open up that's that big? It goes down at least a hundred feet. The mind boggles.

That's terrible. Just think if it had opened up underneath a skyscraper. I hope they're wrong about the possible death.

So, um, what now? How do you... sort out a sinkhole 300 feet deep? Do they fill it up? How much dirt/cement would you even need for that big a hole? Do they build a bridge over it instead? Hope that the mole people don't pop up demanding we stop destroying their underground tunnels?
