Like an actual car crash, the flyover and security-camera video coming out of Bowling Green, Kentucky’s sinkhole-ravaged National Corvette Museum are hard to turn away from. As if the museum staff could read our minds, it released a bevy of photos of the sinkhole’s destruction overnight, as well as a few images of the eight Corvettes that the hole consumed.

A few notes right off the bat: Of the eight Vettes that went into the sinkhole, just four and a half —the ZR1 “Blue Devil” prototype, a ’93 40th anniversary model, the white one millionth Corvette built, the black 1962 model, and the rear end of the black ZR-1 Spyder—are visible in the photos. That isn’t a good sign for the other cars’ recovery, but we hold out hope that all the Vettes can be extracted. We’ll bring you more on the cars and the situation as it develops.
