Didn't that happen a few years ago? So the world has ended already. I would imagine a large sewage leak mixed with the right kind of soil and a place for that sewage to drain to under ground could do a good job at carving a nice round hole like that. I fear that happening to my house all the time, my property sits on top of a lot of dead space and large limestone rocks, along with what a lot of people in the area think to be part of an underground stream since we are not far from a small river, and also a lot of cave systems in the area. Several holes have opened over the years, some as large as cars within tens of feet from the house. Was watching the rain water earlier after a very heavy 3inches in 20 minute rain, drain from a pond in the yard. Even though it was already saturated, you could see lots of bubbles from certain places and it drained very quickly. Waiting for one to open under my garden.

I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of how that much earth could fit in a canvern under that hole....it's insane.
Clearly it's too deep to have been caused by bad man-made plumbing. I'm guessing a rather large underground river as there are tons of of underground rivers/caverns/caves in Central America.
But this stuff seems to happen naturally...it's jsut that it's usually not in the middle of a city. There are a lot of vertical caverns/pits out there...
