You guys are not gonna believe this.

Sinkhole opens up at National Corvette Museum, swallows cars | Fox News

 

Good thing it wasn't Thunderbirds and Mustangs

That is really too bad, and a good thing that nobody went with them. It seems like there are more and more sinkholes all the time.

 

Dang that looks scary. They better get the rest of those cars (and people) out of that building NOW. To heck with waiting on the the structural engineers. And they better get a crane in there and get those 8 cars up now if they can. The 1 millionth AND the 1.5 millionth Corvette are in that hole. You can see the plastic sheeting under the concrete and some of the rebar sticking out of what's left in this picture. I honestly wonder how long the ground under that concrete pad has been "missing", and how many people have walked across it in the last few days.

 

The wife and I walked across it two years ago.

Yeah, that exact spot.........

 

Hate to see those Corvettes in the sinkhole. Wouldn't wish that on any car except a Prius.

 

Scary stuff. Are sink holes common in Kentucky?

 

Not really, but, then again, nothing seems uncommon anymore. That's in Western Kentucky, near Bowling Green. In other words, much closer to the big cave networks like Mammoth Cave, etc.

 

That is terrifying. fortunately no one was hurt. I'm not a big fan of the new corvettes, but that 62 is a tragedy, hopefully they can save them.

 

Hmmmm". Possibly a new cave entrance.

 

As long as there was no one hurt , vettes are expendable

 

As long as Alfred Pennysworth or anyone else wasn't hurt, no real loss.

I'll bet the security video for the place won't be shown cause three more cars were pushed in for a nice insurance claim.

Leave them there, shore up the walls and charge admission to peer down at them.

I said 'peer'. not a typo.

It's sad to see any collector car damaged or destroyed, I see a few Corvette haters amongst us.

 

Its just too damn bad it didnt open up under the oval office.

 

Careful, the NSA may be monitoring this...

 

Here's a bunch of pictures the rescue squad apparently took and posted on the museum's FB page or whatever. The first thing that becomes absolutely painfully obvious is the fact that building is gonna be a total loss. The hole is huge and tracks way back under that floor. The big ugly red column in the center appears to be sitting on its imagination in the middle of that room. And there are dozens of Corvettes still sitting within just a few feet of that hole. Whether you like em or hate em, they're a part of our culture and history. The one millionth Corvette is down in that hole, and not even visible. Apparently 8 cars went in. I can only see three of them. That's sad.
