Usually when you visit, you feel transported by the artifacts and the layout of the exhibit. But this week, videos of the exhibit are going viral and truly making us feel transported to the real tragedy after the museum's mysterious flood.

According to The Volo Museum website, they found the water last Sunday morning after the storms which forced the museum to close the exhibit for repairs.

However, the mystery remains... where did the water come from? The website says there were:

no apparent sources of the water. Thorough inspections revealed no broken pipes, roof leaks, or any other obvious points of entry. Even the perimeter of the building was dry, with no signs of water ingress.'

Get this, the only info they really have is footage of the water starting to flood the exhibit from the 1912 Renault, which is a sister car to the only car that sank with the real ship.

What do you think really happened??
