2,475 [REVY] Sventex Members 8,167 posts 6,118 battles Report post #1 Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) We see here the aftermath of the Goldeneye incident. In all seriousness, the setting of the finale of Goldeneye, known in real life as the Arecibo Observatory has collapsed today. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55147973 Unknown if Sean Bean survived the Cradle landing on him in the movie.

2,105 [PVE] IfYouSeeKhaos Members 7,326 posts 23,193 battles Report post #3 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Wondering if there are any videos of the collapse. Seems some security footage from the sight may have caught something...even if not a direct full angle view of it. Although due to it's isolated location security footage may be minimal. Shame though...a lot of technological history there. (Was originally gonna put up a "BAD JAMES BOND" post in reference to just the title...w/out the details...but actual content distracted me).

Looks like nature started the process before the technicians. https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=301674 Edited December 2, 2020 by HamptonRoads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good thing they had warning from the other cables giving out earlier & had that area cordoned off. That could a been catastrophic had everything been running business as usual...those cables are no joke when they get to whipping through the air. Thanx for posting that.
