Part of the floor at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, recently collapsed and swallowed eight vintage Corvettes.

The sinkhole, which is reportedly about 40 feet wide and at least 25 feet deep, has forced the museum to close while geologists conduct an investigation. Fortunately, no one has been hurt.

The damaged cars include:
  • 1993 ZR-1 Spyder (GM loan);
  • 2009 ZR-1 Blue Devil (GM loan);
  • 1962 Corvette in black;
  • 1984 PPG Pace Car;
  • 1992 Corvette in white (one millionth Corvette);
  • 1993 Corvette Ruby Red Edition 40th anniversary;
  • Z06 Mallett Hammer;
  • 2009 Corvette in white (1.5 millionth Corvette).
