Sinkhole Claims Cars
By Mark Flippo
Two years after eight of their prized cars plummeted into a sinkhole, the National Corvette Museum has opened an exhibit commemorating the incredible event. The 20-foot-deep sinkhole tore through the Bowling Green, Kentucky, museum on Feb. 11, 2014, swallowing some of the country's most admired sports cars, including a vintage 1962 black Corvette.
The Corvettes have been recovered — two have been restored — but museum employees said Friday the lore of the sinkhole has continued to draw record numbers of visitors. The National Corvette Museum's board of directors decided that they would keep a portion of sinkhole, which happened underneath the museum's "Skydome" annex, in June 2014. At the time, the CFO, Christy Thomas, said visits were up 59 percent, and revenue up 65 percent.
They took their tragedy and turned it into a plus for them. Visits up 55% and there revenue up 65%. Now that is how you do it. When you have a tragedy look at the bright side and see how this can become a learning experience for you. How will it help you get closer to God? Can you teach others about Jesus through your misfortune? Do you now share a common ground with others? You will be stronger if you react right. Let your state of mind not be "why me" but I see His plan so clearly. They made it work for their betterment why don't you try it as well!
