    Polk is part of the team investigating the cause and extent of the sink hole at the museum Wednesday.
    I bet when it's all said & done it will be determined the cause will be a huge void below the floor.

    Let's see...

    The architect said the plans were solid

    The investors were told it was safe

    The construction company said the foundation was sound


    The building is completed, AMD looks fine

    Now a giant hole is sucking in everything

    And.. competent, impartial investigation of the underlying geology would have prevented it.

    Yep. It's Obamacare all right.

    You raise a good point. I don't imagine they can just fill the hole with c6, pack it down & pour a new floor. Could be the end of the whole structure. Free Basement?????

    Sometimes unexplainable occurrences are described as "acts of God". Well, if that's the case do we have to conclude that the almighty is a Ford Man?
