40 Foot Sinkhole at Corvette Museum Bowling Green KY
Collapse at National Corvette Museum sends cars into sinkhole



The Bowling Green Fire Department was on the scene this morning. The sinkhole opened under the dome part of the building.

"As it started happening, it triggered an alarm, so the security company called an employee," Museum Executive Director Wendell Strode said.

The alarm, which was triggered at 5:38 a.m., also resulted in a call to the fire department.

Strode has not been allowed into the collapsed area.

"It's about 20 feet deep. As best as I can see it is about as big as the pedestal area where we had the cars displayed," Strode said.

Oh NOZZZ

Was hoping to read that the hole was NEAR the cars and they'd got them all out.

I'm not a Corvette fanatic but Bowling Green and that museum have a special place in the hearts of 'Vette fans, what a pity.

It is with heavy hearts that we report that eight Corvettes were affected by this incident. Those cars include:

1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” on loan from General Motors

The other six vehicles were owned by the National Corvette Museum including:

1962 Black Corvette
1984 PPG Pace Car
1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette
1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette
2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette

I live in Southern Ohio and my daughter lives in Nashville. I pass by the museum regularly when I go visit her. Mammoth Caves is just up the highway from BG. I wonder if the cave system runs under Bowling Green?

KY and TN are #1 and #2 in Karst topography (caves and sink holes). We've had roads/areas open up before. Scary but not unusual.

There was a house on the other side of our town that was clearly on a sink hole and insurance wasn't going to cover it.

My favorite Vette was a black 89 coupe. Now I find I like C3's. I would like to get an 82 collector edition, replace the rear suspension with modern parts, do a 6-speed, and throw in either an LS1, or a 383 with tuned port.

Looks like they should be able to save the 62 if they hurry.

The millionth, 1.5, and the 62 are the truly irreplaceable pieces.

Well I live here and I am about 1 mile from the museum. We are also having reports that there is another sinkhole on the other side of town. My husband has complained about our yard for years , having openings, so hopefully my home will stay up top.
