I saw this on the CF & thought it was hoax. If true its not good. Hope someone that knows what went on for sure will post on here.

Of course, the Skydome webcam is not working.

Re: NCM Sink hole swallows display cars

And it's safe to say that all the cars that are at the NCM are "special" cars and virtually irreplaceable...I hope the cars didn't get destroyed....Oh boy...

This is so sad. Hope the museum is not built over a old coal mine.

Hate to see the Blue Devil lost forever, that is a very special car.

Re: NCM Sink hole swallows display cars

This is a bummer, but after reading the list of cars, my first thought is that it could have been a lot worse.

Re: NCM Sink hole swallows display cars

I would have to add, speaking as an experienced geologist, that these kind of sinkholes really never get "fixed". So the long term future of the NCM in its' current location looks very bleak, IMO.
