I think he meant to say they may be moving now, since this happened. Museum officials say they plan to remain open, but closing that part(obviously) till it can be determined whether or not repairs are possible and at what cost.

It's part of the original facility and I find it shocking that it sunk like that. If it were in FL, they'd force the building closed until Hell freezes over... Move and lose it! That's the FL way... Of course, sink holes are very common in FL and in some parts of the state, much more than others and I'd think they're not so prevalent in Kentucky.

Anyway... just sad to see and I'm glad nobody was in the building when it happened.

Ahhhh, gotcha. Makes (kind of ) sense now.

It is sad to see. It's a ******* travesty actually. God that hole is enormous.

And wow, how lucky is it that the building was closed when it happened. Thank G.

Yeah, the only good part is, no people were there when it happened. The sink hole itself isn't that big really. We've seen entire single family homes completely sucked in to some and I remember seeing a pic from Venezuela or somewhere in that area which was estimated to be 300 feet deep and it covered essentially an entire 4 lane intersection. Talk about lucky... Buildings surrounded it and nobody fell in.

Anyway, maybe they'll be able to preserve most or at least some of the cars. Looks like 1 will be saved, for sure.
