Holy crap - sinkhole opens up in the National Corvette Museum

Talk about a nasty surprise -- from the Bowling Green, KY Daily News:

Collapse at National Corvette Museum sends cars into sinkhole
A sinkhole opened today beneath the National Corvette Museum and swallowed eight cars on display.

A structural engineer was at the museum this morning consulting with Bowling Green Fire Department and museum officials.

A bit more:

Jason Polk, a geography and geology assistant professor at Western Kentucky University, viewed the collapse.

Sinkholes such as these aren't uncommon in the area, given the karst landscape, but it is unusual to see something like this affect the Corvette museum, he said.

"The city is well-versed in sinkholes," Polk said.
