I think it most probably comes down when there is some small extra stress acting on it like a gust of wind. So if it survived a windy day it is unlikely to come down following calm day and that is exactly the moment repair crew should be working on it. --- End quote --- https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/12/arecibo-telescope-collapses-ending-57-year-run |
