Anonymous Coward User ID: 79721115 Australia 12/03/2020 08:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another collapse at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico New footage of Arecibo Observatory collapsing in the jungle of Puerto Rico shows the moment its main cables snapped and sent a massive platform hurling to the ground - triggering a reaction that led to its destruction. Drones were investigating cables around the telescope when the restraints failed and dropped the 900-ton platform onto to the reflector dish 400 feet below. In one of the videos, the platform begins swaying in the air before letting out a loud roar as it dislodged from the supporting cable and snapping into pieces as it dropped.
