Holy Crap............there is some major water flow somewhere under there as the tunneling indicates.

Huge sinkhole area

Double Whammy....lots of limestone and lots of old mines....we typically do not see sink hole claims from KY..mostly from FL.

That was cool, shame he didn't know how to fly it.

Sink hole area. Look at Mammoth Cave just down the road.

Real shame. Hope for the best.

Sad day for corvette museum and all vette owners,hopefully they can restore them if not r i p

It is sad. Earlier today when I first saw the headline I thought "man some dealership here in FL just lost some inventory". Man I was wrong. I can remember having dinner in there and guess it was not my time. That looks like a lot of work to fix this if it is even possible. Good luck making it happen.

I'm far from an expert on sinkholes - but I do have some experience with excavation and such. That does not appear from the pics/video to be a water problem from the museum itself as some speculated (water lines etc)
That looks like a good old-fashioned big time limestone cave in sinkhole. The dirt in the hole appears to be dry - and the rock looks to be fractured like a huge collapse into an underground cavern WAY below what you see... Will be interesting to see where they go from here...

Nice observation. I hope they can get that zr1 spyder out. that was such a beautiful car. I was there in 2009 drooling all over that car. I needed a bib while I was there.

...hope the dyno sheets didn't fall into the hole.
That would certainly put an end to the dyno sheet "problem"...
