    The latest I saw was that work was to start yesterday on stabilizing the remaining floor, and once they have things stable they will need six days to extract the cars. The sinkhole has not expanded any more since the collapse, which is good. Once extracted GM will take the cars to their Mechanical Assembly Area within the Design Center where work will begin on all that can be restored. The report was that the dome's wall structure was not affected, and that the plan will be to use compacted fill to bring the sinkhole back to grade, and then to pour a new floor.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
