Sinkhole

[Ms.Mach71351c]

This is such a bummer. I wonder if they are offering half off on admission?

Wow, shocking news; at least no one was injured.

This quote from the article is quite an understatement: The museum is closed for the day.

I'm sure they will rebuild the vettes if they can recover them.

Dang, what a waste. Too bad for the cars.

Ya seen that plastered all over facebook today...Hopefully most of the cars can be pulled out and saved..And hope the Corvette museum moves to safer ground, kentucky known for sinkholes.

Atleast we know GOD is a Ford guy!

But that does suck. Lucky no one was in there.

Nobody was hurt - that's the main thing that matters.

As for what is in there...Corvettes?

Oh.

NEXT!

FYI, that part of Kentucky is full of karsts. One member at the Corvette Forum brought up some plot data showing 257 reported sinkholes within a mile of the museum:

At that rate, I'm surprised this is the first at the museum.

What is a "karst"? its either a typo, or something I've never heard of...or both!

Damn. You beat me to it. I'm a geologist/geophysicist.

Another definition of sinkhole: a hole in which one throws money without anything in return.

Or....... you wanted to drop in someday??

They were one of my first big customers as a sales guy back in the day. I got them and then was able to pick up Doug Nash Engineering in Franklin, and then Darrell Waltrip. (of course he wouldnt know who I am but he was sure to tell me if I gave him discounts he would take care of me... ) any way back to the Corvettes. I only see the 62 as a loss. the rest...blah
