water leaked into the vault and the car is much worse for wear...luckily some of the things in the trunk can be salvaged

1. One of the comments from that Tulsa World link:

"Hey...I have been in Oklahoma and it is my opinion that they should have left the car above ground and buried Tulsa in a concrete vault."

:rofl:

Actually, this result doesn't surprise me in the least. My brother-in-law is an engineer. He always does as little as possible. He specializes in two-inch clearance all the way around and no comprehension or care that something could go wrong. Putting on a cement lid and never contemplating a seal or drainage system sounds about right.

4. Nah, not an Engineer... It was a New Car Dealer who planted that one... n/t

3. I thought they had sealed it in with Helium gas...

Oh, wait... That one is in Amarillo, TX.

6. According to Old Cars Weekly, the vault was constructed in such a hurry that

the concrete had just set and was still curing when the car was placed and the vault sealed.
