Amazing photos and even more amazing that the spires fell inward rather than outward.

thanks for bringing these photos to our attention. I’ve worked enough around masonry repair and restoration to know that those fixes are going to cost some serious sums; time to start plugging the mite boxes for this!

The National Cathedral cannot catch a break. A crane collapsed causing more damage. Luckily no one was seriously hurt this time either.
