"Eight cars were swallowed by 40-foot-wide and 30-foot-deep hole"

From The Daily Mail:

A 30-foot-deep sinkhole has swallowed eight vintage American cars on display at the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky, including a 1962 Black Corvette and 1984 PPG Pace Car.

The floor collapsed about 5.40am this morning in the Bowling Green museum's Sky Dome area, which showcases about 30 iconic Corvettes.

Six of the damaged sports cars were owned by the museum and the other two by General Motors, but staff managed to remove an irreplaceable 1983 Corvette.


Can we pin this one on the Environment Agency?

I wonder which paper will be the first to write about a sinkhole epidemic.

AKH, sinkholes went mainstream a year or two ago, most major sources have their own shock-horror lists of all the sinkholes, where and why.

It was me. I confess. I coveted the collection, but the tunnel gave way...

L, that's like the plot of Woody Allen's "Small Time Crooks" but even stupider :-)
