Christopher Duenas * viewing hole sounds cool.

What a glorious hole

must be a pretty good little cave system under there. Kentucky is so full of caves that it would look like swiss cheese if you could slice it. FYI the longest known cave in the world is just up the road: Mammoth Cave National Park; the cave system is 425 miles and growing. That is surveyed and mapped miles which were explored by people.

@@sergeantspeed5941 Glory hole...

How could you see to the bottom? The video shows them filling it up.

if you think that's bad don't walk on any sidewalk, drive any road, or go in any building because they all have those types of cracks in concrete

I know, that's why I don't leave my house.

The Crack that broke the corvettes back 😂 sorry had to say it.

Only 5 were lost, if I am not wrong 3 were saved

+Dave Randall Yep! And if the Earth wants to open up it will. I wouldn't trust it.

Dave Randall had to look about 3 times and seen it on the last time .....wow

I just saw this video and I was going to post the same... thing.

Cracks like that are common, even in new buildings.

All concrete cracks. There’s nothing that can be done about it due to the way it expands and contracts.

The floor of my garage was poured without expansion joints and it hasn't developed cracks that large in the 18 years the house has existed.

All 8 cars that fell in the hole were removed from it, some more intact than others (only 3 were in restorable condition; one of the 3 was so lightly damaged it was still drivable). There are a few parts of the cars that were buried so deep they couldn't be removed (or even found), so some parts of Corvettes are in the hole forever, but no whole Corvette is still down there.

danilo e jesus earth moved , cement cracks . It's no way around it no matter what the mix .

The yellow line at 3:10 that is a out line of the sink holes I was just there this year that what it said

Yep there's gonna be another hole. lol. that shouldn't have cracked like that already especially with the prep to the ground they did before pouring the concrete.

Mr.Almighty that is usually caused by either adding too much water to the cement mixture prior to pouring or not cutting lines into the concrete

Mony mony

@@davidperry4013 no It is because it is sitting on one of the largest sinkhole plains in the world. When the museum was built, it was according to specs which were true at the time. However, limestone formations are dissolved by water, and heavy rains, flooding and other natural events just wore away the caprock. The ceiling would have dropped if nothing were sitting on top of it. Now that the caprock is gone, there is nothing to collapse.

I don't think they're going to park any Corvettes there even with the repair. No sense in tempting fate a second time. RIP to the 5 Corvettes damaged beyond repair.

It’s a corvette museum, not an art museum

I’m trying hard to estimate how much solid fill it took to build it back up to floor level again? Any guesses?

SIG442 REALLY A YEAR ?? HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF CUBIC YARDS FOR FILL??

BruhItzBri Gaming sinkholes are byproducts of dissolution in limestone and other carbonate rocks, it’s more than just washing away of sediments because a chemical reaction (dissolution) must occur for a large void to open up otherwise you’ll just get erosion and the sediments will be deposited nearby and no void is created. Credit: phD in sinkholes and karst formations

I know..anyone whit common sence.will have expansion joints or cut it...that Crack looks like shit..m shure they charge.them a lot...

there is not another cave ceilng under there to collapse now. That's what it was after all; a large limestone dome which became too thin due to erosion to support the weight of the building A good solid fill in with reinforcements should work.

Steve Leahy the bedrock below is limestone which is very prone to dissolution when in contact with water, once this happens large void spaces are created until anything above is no longer supported hence a sinkhole, the corvette museum is a prime example of know it all engineers who don’t know jack shit about sinkholes because there WILL be another one in the future at that location

@@joystick396 actually the builders knew there was risk because all of Bowling Green sits on a huge sinkhole plain. When the building was constructed, the subsurface was determined to be sufficient to support the building and it did for a long time. However, there were several heavy rainy seasons and a couple of floods plus a severely cold winter with a lot of freeze/thaw which would have caused the dome to weaken. Builders in the area are quite accustomed to investigating the strength of a location before building because the odds are good there could be a big ole hole there.

they aren't making $74+ an hour

@@Drewmack22 Okay so how do you know what they’re earning? If you know, how much were they paid?

Bug Bomb you’re exactly right, know it all engineers are at work with this corvette museum, no one listens to geologists but I’m going to be the one laughing when they have to empty their pockets again because the earth swallowed their building

Nope

Nope. Only eight lost. All eight recovered.

It was actually a cave to begin with. The limestone wore away over time due to water flow and it became too thin to support the weight. Now that the caprock is gone, It won't collapse. It isn't the only sinkhole around there just the most well known. Lots of caves too. I think there are 8 tourist caves within 30 miles of BG.

Claire Wood thanks
