Sinkhole Swallows 8 Vehicles Inside Bowling Green KY Corvette Museum 97
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."

One of the things you can count on slashdot for is a bunch of posts by sanctimonious twats pretending to know more than someone else. Yes there are caves under the museum, they cover a vast region of this part of the country. What you do not know is that across the highway they are building a speedway and moving tons of earth around. It is not the original builders lack of slabs and piles to blame (Although I got a laugh out of people suggesting that was the failure here), nor is it a lack of geologic awareness. Stop pretending to know what the fuck you are talking about.

When it was done, it was the fastest time ever recorded, by any car. Since then, it has been broken many times, but never by a car close to its price.
