We can’t say for sure if the curators of the Corvette National Museum in Bowling Green are doing their best to keep us informed on the sinkhole incident that devoured eight Corvettes, making the best of a bad situation through all the publicity they’re garnering, or perhaps a little bit of both, but either way, good for them.
The reason why we’re posting this update is that they’ve released the first video footage from the scene inside the Skydome.
If you haven’t read what happened, here’s a short description of the events from the Corvette National Museum (CNM):
“We received a call at 5:44 am from our security company alerting us of our motion detectors going off in our Skydome area of the Museum. Upon arrival it was discovered that a sinkhole had collapsed within the Museum. No one was in or around the Museum at the time.”
The sinkhole that measures 40 feet wide and about 25 to 30 feet deep, swallowed eight cars, including two loaners from GM, a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil, and six cars owned by the museum, a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette.
