Labor Day Weekend at the National Corvette Museum
Oct 5, 2016 11:34:46 #
I attended festivities at the NCM in Bowling Green, KY during the recent Labor Day Weekend, an annual event at the museum. The shots here show much of the damage to the 12 cars that were swallowed up by the cave-in at the museum several months ago. The last shot, showing the fully restored one millionth Corvette produced, is particularly noteworthy, as the restoration recovered all but two of the autographs applied by workers and dignitaries after the car was produced. I hope you get a sense of the magnitude of the sinkhole, and the damage it wrought.

The security video from that night is one of the most heartbreaking auto videos I have ever seen.

A geologist would have to fully
answer this question, but in a nutshell as I understand, is underground faults, erision, etc. If you do a search, you will get a much more definitive explanation. Thanks for looking and asking.

Those are some awful looking Corvettes. America's dream car since 1953. Nothing can totally stop a sinkhole from gobbling up your car, house, or whatever. I remember the sinkhole in Florida, where a man was napping in his house, and the house and man were swallowed up. An attempt to save him failed by one person, risking his own life, and barely escaping. The napper disappeared. And presumed dead.

Love the Corvettes and what a remarkable challenge in restoring the 1,000,000th 'Vette. Very good photos of a catastrophic event. Mahalo for sharing.

What was the sinkhole caused by? Burst pipe?

It would appear that someone died in all of those wrecks... true?
