Unbelievable story out of Bowling Green... A huge sinkhole has opened up directly beneath the Museum's exhibit hall. I wonder how such a large cavern like this was not detected during construction or in the years that followed. I would think that cracks in the floor would have appeared before giving way like this. The Museum is also the site of the Corvette factory, so I also wonder what the geology is like under the plant.
