Virtually exactly a year ago, a gaping maw opened in the Kentucky soil. And a lot like Debbie Harry’s man from Mars, it ate some vehicles. Ignoring Cadillacs, Lincolns, Mercurys, and Subarus, the hellmouth was clearly craving fiberglass. Now, the Corvette-consuming hole in the earth in Bowling Green has been stuffed with what National Corvette Museum staffers surely hope is the most everlasting of gobstoppers.
The chasm that swallowed 8 historically important Vettes has been filled with stone. Micropiles—basically modest versions of the hunks of material driven into the ground to support bridges—have been inserted to assistance huge steel beams intended to maintain the floor from collapsing in case the Gaian Glassbeast after once more finds itself peckish. The video beneath explains a lot more.
The museum intends to have the Skydome location where the ground collapsed ready for display in July, ultimately bringing the oddly gripping geological saga to a close.
