A decade ago, the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky suffered a bizarre incident: A massive sinkhole opened up beneath the museum’s Skydome, swallowing eight rare Corvettes. Thankfully it happened after hours. (The security camera footage of it is here.)
Weirdly, the freak event subsequently drove record attendance. People wanted to see the aftermath of the disaster.
Now the museum is holding a 10-year anniversary exhibition of the disaster:
“Get ready to experience ‘Ground to Sky: The Sinkhole Reimagined,’ our newest exhibit that takes you beyond the infamous 2014 sinkhole. This limited engagement showcases a decade of grit and innovation, highlighting our epic recovery journey and unstoppable progress. Just like the Corvette, it’s a story of smashing through obstacles and pushing boundaries.”
The museum was able to restore three of the Corvettes, which will be on display.
