A sinkhole inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. swallowed eight vehicles early Wednesday morning.
About 5:40 a.m., a security company alerted the museum that motion detectors had been set off inside, according to a news release. The fire department arrived and found a sinkhole 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep inside the museum.
