<VV> Corvette Museum floor collapse

[Jim Davis]

That part of Kentucky (the Pennyrile) has limestone karst for bedrock.   
After all, Mammoth Cave National Park is near by.  Almost every farm in 
the area has at least one limestone cave on its property.  It is the 
limestone in the soil that makes Kentucky blue grass the ideal grazing 
food for thoroughbreds.   When you build above a cave you have to expect 
losses.
