Unfrickingbelievable!

When you put something in a museum, you expect it to be there for all time, so everyone can enjoy it. Who would EVER think that the earth would just open up and swallow things up like that, right in the middle of the museum??? As a former Chevrolet technician (and Corvette specialist) I am shocked beyond belief that something like this could occur. I have been to Bowling Green (we refer to it as the "Holy Land"), toured the factory, and visited the Museum and never in my wildest nightmares would I have guessed that this would happen! I'm hoping that they can pull those vehicles out of that hole and repair them... especially the 1,000,000th Corvette (seen that one in person :gaah:) and the 1.5 millionth Corvette. :bummed:

Talk about bad luck. I don't think anyone would have thought of a sinkhole destroying a museum.

i personally love vettes so this is heart breaking. i think any museum of value that suffers something like this is a huge blow to us.
