Greenbank Radio Telescope

mesh fragment

This was a case of "Humpty Dumpty", total structural failure

A giant radio telescope at Green Bank, West Virginia, collapsed into a "twisted mess" without any visible cause, or previous warning.

There was no wind, no covert landing of malicious aliens - on that night of November 15th, in 1988. During its normal operation (while studying gravitational lenses and distant galaxies), the scientific colossus suddenly folded up in a tangled heap around the control building... amazingly no scientist inside of it was hurt.
