Swallowed Corvette Cars - The Aftermath

Nope, those are not my son's matchbox cars.

If you live under the rock like Patrick does or got stuck in an island like Chuck Noland for the past 24 hours, chances are you haven't heard of  the news about Corvettes being swallowed whole. It's a scene straight from a horror movie where the ground swallows hapless folks cars in their sleep.  Very difficult to watch especially  if you're the owner.

So what happened really?  It's a massive sinkhole, the same phenomenon that caused this hole, opening up under the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky where rare, historical, priceless Corvettes were on display.  The "victims" were a black 1962 Corvette, a 1984 custom pace car from the IndyCar World Series, the 1 millionth and 1.5 millionth Corvettes ever built, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, and a 2001 Mallet Hammer Zo6 Corvette. From this post

Here's the CCTV footage of the actual ground-swallowing event in case you haven't seen yet.



And here's the drone footage of the wreck thereafter.


Look at them, they all look like they are just sleeping.
