Buried Car

Organizers
get a sneak peek at Tulsa's
buried Belvedere, and don't like what they see. Crews pried the lid off the
1957 Plymouth’s
vault on Wednesday and found several feet of standing water. The News On
6’s Joshua Brakhage reports this buried treasure is now a sunken
treasure.
People
compared the standing water inside the vault to chocolate milk. They say it
must have seeped in through the bottom of the vault.
Now the
Public Works Department is pumping the water out of the vault. They are
worried that water could be toxic, so the Fire Department's Hazmat team was
called to the scene, and the Police Department and Sheriff's Office have put
up crime scene tape around the site. Many say it would be a crime to see the
Belvedere destroyed after all this anticipation.
Organizers
say this just creates that much more mystery around the car's unveiling. News
On 6 anchor Terry Hood hosts our live special Friday evening at 7
o’clock. The unveiling can also be seen live, streaming on the internet
at kotv.com.
On The
News On 6 at 5 Terry Hood tells us the vault isn't the only thing standing
between the Belvedere and the elements. What layers of protection organizers
are still counting on to save this celebration is tonight at 5 p.m. on The
News On 6.
