Sad day for some of our truck's kin
 

I know this is a 'truck' forum, but have you heard about what's happening at the corvette museum? Very, very sad day for Chevy lovers. A giant sinkhole opened up under the dome and has swallowed several corvettes.

After watching the youtube clips, click on the one of the helicopter shots... simply amazing.

Re: Sad day for some of our truck's kin
 

I remember almost everyone of those cars. My wife and I did a vaca in Bowling Green complete with the museum tour and the factory tour several years ago and it is still one of our favorite travels. That purple C4 if not mistaken was the mule or a mule car for the ls1 drivetrain that they drove and tested for several years in real world conditions before releasing it in a new body style in front of spying eyes. The car logged like 140k miles if I recall. Each one of those cars was special in its own way at that place, like the only 83 model that was made, yes they did but it was never released. I learned so much in so little time that day that may be why it is such a fond memory. I know in some small way we all lose a part of our automotive history every day each time the crusher comes down or the junkyard gates open, but it is so rare that we watch it on camera happen to shined up priceless jewels. Rest well beloved Vettes. Jim

Not a good situation...doesnt even look real, looks like a seen from a slyvestor stallone movie

Re: Sad day for some of our truck's kin
 

Crazy! I had to go to the New York Times to find out where the museum is located (Bowling Green, KY - makes sense) as this detail is not provided on the Fox News piece...

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
 

From those helicopter pics, I think that museum was build on top of a landfill. That void was going on for a while I would think?. Take notice that the concrete floor has zero steel rebar, not that it would of saved it, but shows how and what they build with and on.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
 

I just cant bring myself to watch the videos haha! What a shame!!!

Re: Sad day for some of our truck's kin
 

I toured it a couple years ago too. There was a nice 61 on display out front when I was there.

Re: Sad day for some of our truck's kin
 

Yeah I heard about it on another thread here in General that was started early today =)

Re: Sad day for some of our truck's kin
 

They're being moved here where they belong.:lol:

Re: sad day
 

I don't get it, why their engineer did not perform seismic testing know their were caverns and alike in the area, sounds like someone is going to get sued.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
 

^ $$$. Designed a Big chain store up in PA years ago. Owner/developer would only pay for coring in building area and random areas in parking lot. Just days before the store was to open a huge hole opened up in the detention pond and another opened up in a new access road to the main road. Some people refuse to pay for geotech investigations at all unless the permit issuing municipality requires it.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
 

Did any one see a 1983 Vette in the hole? Thats got to be about the rarest of them all beings all I ever heard of was a couple made..

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
 

Well,Kentucky has Mammoth Caves National Park and Lost River,as well as limestone deposits/quarries/caverns running from there up to PA,so yeah,there is lots of history of underground water caverns.

I just hope they had excellent insurance coverage or this thing could put the museum in the hole

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
 

As someone from Kentucky sinkholes are common here most never that big tho.Yes the museum is in bowling green same place the corvette plant is.The plant opened when the c4 started and has been the only plant since. If you wanna talk about bad luck Adair county which isn't far from bowling green had a natural gas line explosion about the same time as the sinkhole.
