Already slated for demolition in the wake of two earlier cable failures, the sudden collapse on December 1 marked the end of the route for an observatory that once was the largest such facility in the world.
One view, from a camera on the roof of the observatory’s control center, showed the instrument platform crashing to Earth, along with the top 60 feet of two reinforced concrete cable back up towers that were ripped away. Another view came from a drone stationed just above back up Tower 4 where two cables failed on August 10 and November 6.
As the drone’s camera looked on, another back up cable unraveled and of a sudden snapped. An instant later, the back up platform began falling toward the dish 45 stories below. The drone operator managed to turn the camera in time to capture the moment of impact and the failures of the other two back up towers. _____________________________________________ arecibo
