Puerto Rico: Iconic Arecibo Observatory telescope collapses - BBC News

Maybe they shuld repeal the lw of gravity LOL........ Seriously though, I read about thhis a few weeks ago and I knew it was an aging telescope but..... Never knew how serious it was

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."
