Two days ago, a sinkhole with a diameter of 12 meters, depth of 8 to 9 meters, swallowed 8 rare Corvette cars on display at the National Corvette Museum.

Among the 8 “affected” cars were two cars owned by GM, the 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” and the 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, along with six other cars owned by the museum, including a black 1962 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a white 1992 Corvette worth $1 million, a red Ruby 40th Anniversary 1993 Corvette, a 2001 Z06 Corvette Mallett Hammer, and a white 2009 Corvette worth $1.5 million.

Immediately after the incident, authorities announced that the museum would open today, but later changed their statement, saying that the entire museum would temporarily close to implement safety measures.
Clearly, the safety measure mentioned here is to “evacuate” other cars in the collection to another location to avoid being affected by the sinkhole. Currently, many museum staff are moving these rare Corvettes to another area, but it is still unclear where these cars will end up.
