It's a cool place to see... glad I didn't fall in a giant hole though. :)

I've been there a couple of times, really a great place to visit.

I just wonder what they are going to do to fix it? The whole place could go under. Also a liability for people touring the museum. ????

I guess now they have a basement expansion to add more exhibits.

For you guys that have all that free time at work. Live streaming from the Corvette museum showing their efforts to remove Corvettes from the sink hole.

www.corvettemuseum.org/webcam/camera6.shtml

They should start lifting them out on Thursday or Friday.

That was the easy one. The rest will be much more difficult to dig out without doing more damage.

The museum plans to display them during the summer before restoration. I am booked to participate in a Goodguys event in Nashville in mid May. The museum is only about 60 miles from there and I plan to visit it on the way home.

The blue one started and they drove it out. They pulled the maroon one out today and it will certainly need quite a bit of work.
