Sinkhole Swallows 8 Vehicles Inside Bowling Green KY Corvette Museum

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday February 12, 2014 @07:06PM from the mole-man's-new-ride dept.

OakDragon writes "A sinkhole about 40 feet wide — and 30 feet deep — opened up inside the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY early Thursday morning, swallowing eight vehicles that were sitting inside. At least one of these cars is one of a kind, and due to its location the fire department allowed its removal. The sinkhole is remarkable in that it has left the surrounding ground which supports the circular structure intact, although that assessment may change up on investigation. Security footage from inside the museum shows the collapse as it happened."

It isn't like they lost some nice German or Italian cars.

Which makes leaving them there a bit perplexing?
I'm sure they *thought* it was safe, but why keep rare and precious objects there when you know there is a big problem ready to happen?
Rare and precious? I thought that the article said that they were Corvettes?
