I guess they should have put in a sump pump or constructed the vault like an inground swimming pool.
According to one article I read, the contractor who built the vault is still alive at 98 and rode on the trailer taking the car from its tomb to its un-wrapping. It would be interesting to hear what excuse he has for his handiwork.
