Read about it this morning on Jalopnik. Been there a few times, sad news. Thought there'd be more about it her on C5 though.

Sad but really fortunate that it happened when there were not a lot of people walking around the cars.

I hope the museum had good insurance to get them out of this mess. Cause this is not going to be a cheap fix.

Most of the state is a karst region. That area is particularly "active" with Cave City and Mammoth Cave Nat. Park very near by. Lexington is built on top of an aquifer as well, but this water running through the limestone is what makes wonderful KY Bourbon.

Sinkhole at Corvette Museum

Not sure if you all heard about this yet. Apparently 8 cars were lost.
