1 fatality so far. Construction workers hit a gas line.

I've toured the collection and am familiar with the site. If my map skills are still good, that building with the curved roof (with the hole in it) is the main display area.

Sad day for those lost and injured. I have seen several of those cars at local events and have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ingram. He and his son Cam are very good people.

At least one person is dead and a lot more injured, the cars don’t mean much in perspective.

I was there a few years ago with my PCA group. We met Bob and I have to say he is a great person. That is a sad day for all of us Porsche brothers. I hope no one got hurt and they can save some of the cars.

Yes, I’m sure we all feel bad about that. It doesn’t mean we can’t also feel bad about millions of Dollars in automotive history getting destroyed, too.

My comment wasn’t meant to imply you didn’t, just provide perspective that worse things resulted due to this.
