That's probably EXACTLY what they're trying to figure - move the dirt FROM the hole, to put it back in the hole later, OR, move it WITHIN the hole, to the deeper corner cavities. But without knowing where 2 of the cars are exactly, the latter - more practical option isn't an option yet. GPR radar? They should have checked for the cars when they checked the integrity of the rest of the museum grounds on day 2...

Re: Corvette Museum: 1Mth recovered
You can see how big the holes are in the bottom of the pit. If any cars went down one of them, like this one dang near did anyway, you can bet the chances are good we'll see some Chinese 'knock-off' C4s driving around soon.

Re: Corvette Museum
Interesting, they're adding dirt to the hole.

Re: Corvette Museum
I saw that front end loader come in a minute ago, and go out...
ok - they covered the corner of the Spyder with a tarp or something, and now they're dumping in dirt to fill the corner holes, after the 1mil car almost went down in one corner????????? Why not re-locate some of the dirt in there NOW, to the corner holes, and uncover the other 3 cars in the process?

Re: Corvette Museum
Ya have to wonder if there are more voids back in and under the remaining concrete. Scary thought. And what of the remaining structures, parking lot, etc ?

Re: Corvette Museum
They said on Facebook today they put a heavy tarp over the Spyder and then added a bunch of sand around it - to act as a "pillow" to protect it while they remove all the hanging and compromised concrete and shore up the walls. Guess they figure some of that will inevitably fall in there and didn't want to take any chances.
I get all this from the NCM Facebook site. "Like" it and you will see all of it and good pics as well. I guess if Ya'All aren't on FB I will just keep posting the updates...

Re: Corvette Museum
Yeah, it filled in a nice blind spot.
