http://www.trinidadexpress.com/featured-news/Sinkhole-in-Carapal-225294812.html

Quote: "One morning Robin Castro went onto the estate in Carapal Extension, only to find a large area that was level the day before had sunken significantly. Bois canot, coconut, mango and other trees still remained standing—but at a lower level. After some time, the land dropped still further—by as much as 25 feet in some places. Robin and his brother explored the area and found no evidence of landslide, just a clean drop in the earth entailing a block 200 feet long by 25 feet wide, and more in some places."

Quote: "This never happens here in our country."
