The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., has long been a mini-Mecca for fans of America's most hallowed sports car. Early this morning, that museum suffered the catastrophe shown above, when a sinkhole in the Sky Dome opened up and swallowed eight rare Vettes, including two that belonged to General Motors.
According to museum officials, the sinkhole began around 5:30 a.m. while the museum was closed, and within minutes had grown to about 40 feet wide and 25 to 30 feet deep.

Interesting info - thank you!
I hope they are able to get this repaired without going broke.
I know they are also in the process of building a new race track next door.
I’ll observe that the museum is on the southern border of KY cave country. It’s only about 30 miles to Mammoth Cave, for instance.
