Officials blamed the sinkhole on recent rains and an underground sewage flow from a ruptured main
The pit emitted foul odors, loud noises and tremors, shaking the surrounding ground. A rush of water could be heard from its depths, and authorities feared it could widen or others could open up.

Their father, Domingo, was still missing, according to disaster coordinator Hugo Hernandez .
