BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - It has been confirmed that 8 vehicles were swallowed by a sinkhole at the Sky Dome at the National Corvette Museum. According to our sister station, WBKO in Bowling Green, the sinkhole is estimated to be around 40 feet wide and 20-30 feet deep.

The museum sent out the following release, detailing this morning's incident:

"We received a call at 5:44am from our security company alerting us of our motion detectors going off in our Skydome area of the Museum. Upon arrival it was discovered that a sinkhole had collapsed within the Museum. No one was in or around the Museum at the time. The Bowling Green Fire Department arrived on the scene and secured the area.
It is with heavy hearts that we report that eight Corvettes were affected by this incident. Those cars include:
· 1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
· 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil" on loan from General Motors
The other six vehicles were owned by the National Corvette Museum including:
· 1962 Black Corvette
· 1984 PPG Pace Car
· 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette
· 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette
· 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
· 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette
None of the cars affected were on loan from individuals. We have contacted a structural engineer who is arriving today to assess the existing damage and stability of the surrounding areas. While the Skydome area is closed, the remainder of the Museum is still open.
This year we celebrate our 20th Anniversary and look forward to re-opening the Skydome exhibit area very soon."

Scary when u think... (for us) Miss Popo and I amd many other members go and visit the museum every year (LTXSHOOTOUT TIME) and walk and stand in that very area.

i think whats really bad is a few of those cars are buried under all that sediment. i wonder how they are going to recover them with unstable ground

also, that concrete slab looked awfully thin for a place like that. idn it may just be me, but it seems like a thin slab

The process of removing and repairing the 8 damaged Corvettes at the museum in Bowling Green has begun. Ruby, the 1993 model was the 2nd one up.

Sad to see.

Might be time for a trip to Bowling Green. I'm a "Founding Member" of the NCM, approaching my 25th anniversary as a member, have a brick in the walkway, but have never been there.

[popo8]

It was nice having the shootout in Bg KY for the last four years.... we never missed a visit to the NCM....

I was reading comments on the museum's Facebook page and a lot of people are saying to leave it just as it is. The corvette museum is about corvette history and the sinkhole happened. The cars that are salvageable should be restored, but the one that are too far gone should be put in their own exhibit as a reminder of what happened.

I like that idea.

[meissen]

I updated the thread title so it's a little more obvious that it's for the corvette museum, I clicked on the link thinking it was some new sinkhole that formed :lol:

[Sahara54]

LT5 swap donor car...lol. I agree about the un-restoreable cars having their own exhibit.
