Sinkholes, coincidence or natural phenomenon? Join Destination America to explore these natural voids in their special SINKHOLES: SWALLOWED ALIVE. On Wednesday, a 40-foot sinkhole was reported; this monstrosity swallowed an exclusive collection of the fastest cars known to man at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Wednesday’s occurrence is the latest in a series of recent sinkholes that have stunned Americans and raised questions about what exactly causes them.

Eight valuable Corvettes are the only victims of this latest sinkhole, but sometimes people are not so lucky. Destination America provides an all-exclusive look into this dangerous natural phenomenon in the captivating one-hour special, SINKHOLES: SWALLOWED ALIVE. Learn why and where they form, find out how we can protect our own land, and hear from people who nearly fell victim.

SINKHOLES: SWALLOWED ALIVE airs Monday, February 17 at 9/8c only on Destination America.
