Sinkhole Swallows 8 Vehicles Inside Bowling Green KY Corvette Museum
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."
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?
the sinkhole was likely an attempted theft using underground tunnels to bore directly into the car museum. the coolest part is that the tunnel made itself using the sinkhole-ray and the cars fell into the hole and they just drove them off!
The ZR1 that set the 7:19.63 Nurburgring lap time survived.
Too bad the Blue Devil ZR-1 was lost.

At least no people got hurt, unlike that poor guy who had a sinkhole open up under his bedroom and died.
But you'd have thought if the original builders knew about sinkholes they've have either build a very thick concrete base slab and/or plenty of deep piles. Looking at that mess they did neither.
Somewhere a distant echo in my brain is a proverb about Vettes saying something about a deep hole that you throw money into.
Seems like prophesy instead of proverb at this point.

Clearly, this was the work of the devil. He's pure evil, so clearly he has no problem with "downloading" a few cars!

Someone mentioned caves below the structure and I think you can make one to two of them out.

3:30 minutes of video yet only 15 seconds being of any value.
Uriah Prost46 put it better than I could of in a reply to the video.
"+YouOriginal I'm with that guy^^ Who gives a fuck??.. and on top of that, it was the shittiest Quad-copter not "helicopter" footage I've seen.. This asshole took two minutes trying to figure out how to fly it.. then spend a whole of 20 secs in the hole and didn't even check anything out.. Then the ass wipe didn't edit out the bullshit on the end, i guess he had to go ask three engineers how to turn the camera off.." -Uriah Prost46
Stupid sinkhole attacked the wrong museum in Kentucky.
I struggled for days and days and all I got was this lousy sig.
The beta sinkhole swallowed 8 ACs first, however one was a rare GNAA troll and due to it's recent scarcity slashdot is allowing their removal. The sinkhole is remarkable in that it has left the surrounding stories intact while decimating comments, although that assessment may change according to Soulskill
