Dozens Killed in Somalia's Attack

A car bomb exploded Thursday, which killed at least 12 people near Somalia's national intelligence headquarters in Mogadishu. 

Most of the victims were government soldiers. 

At least 10 other people were injured in an explosion after a minivan that was packed with explosives crashed into a restaurant and blew up. 

Al-Shabaab rebels took responsibility for the attack which killed 15 security officials. 

On last week, attacks were also carried out on Somalia's presidential palace. At least 12 died, which included both government officials and attackers. 

The president however, was unharmed. 

The USA has designated this organization as a terrorist organization, due to their other attacks on countries such as Uganda and Kenya that resulted in the death of dozens. 

Death in any form is unfortunate, particularly when innocent lives are taken.

To think that this happens on a more consistent basis is completely ridiculous to me.

Whether or not they wanted to kill the president, they harmed dozens of other people in the process. 

Completely unaware of the attackers intentions they had no opportunity to escape it, and that I feel is the saddest part of it all.

Sinkhole Swallows Eight Corvettes at the Church of Corvettes

At the Church of Corvette in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a sink hole occurred in the museum, resulting in eight corvettes being swallowed. 

"Of the eight cars that fell, six were donated to the museum by Corvette enthusiasts, and two are owned by the car's maker, General Motors. Among them were a 1962 Black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, and a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder."

"The total value of the damaged cars is "substantial," said museum executive director Wendell Strode."

Almost all the cars have been removed from the hole and they have been setting up ramps to get the remaining one out.

The cars were swallowed inside a part of the museum called the "sky dome".

 Fortunately enough, the 30 feet deep sinkhole did not result in any deaths or injuries. 

The sinkhole couldn't have come at a worse time, as the museum was preparing to celebrate its 20th anniversary. In addition to that, they were planning on opening a 184-acre Motorsports Park in August. 

Approximately 5,000 people are already pre-registered to attend the park's grand opening.

Although this occurrence came off as a surprise, it shouldn't have been much of one, due to the fact that western Kentucky is home of the largest known cave system in the world; Mammoth Cave National Park. 

Sink holes are known to occur constantly in these parts of the country. Typically, the holes are caused by ground water eroding underground limestone throughout the years, then forming a void beneath the surface of the earth.  

Geologist, Jason Polk, inspected the entire building after this event and he appears to be confident in the stability of the grounds that the museum stands on.
