    Ironically if it had been animals that fell in the hole, they probably would have called a Vet to get them out.


    Sorry it's a slow day & that's the best I could come up with.

    Getting them out of the hole is not going to be a cheap operation, with a lot depending on how far back the sinkhole extends. I was looking last night at some video footage taken by a small RC helicopter, and it looks like the cavern is quite extensive. Determining the placement of a crane with sufficient reach and capacity will be a little dicey.

    So, any bets on which car will be the first to show up on a Barrett-Jackson auction and sell for some stupid price because it's a sinkhole survivor?????

    Good thing it didn't happen at the Mustang Museum. That would really hurt.

    If a crane can not be used a helicopter will work. We used them for moving machinery lots heavier than a corvette.

    Yeah, that's off course an option, but then there's a roof on the building, assuming that the building doesn't have to come down to do the subsurface work.....
