Aw crap.

Awhh hell.

Now, do we clean it all up or leave it for a few dozen generations later to re-discover

But why would it collapse at any time? 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.

Aw Crap Squared...

Rebuild It!

How many other of our great infrastructure facilities are now ticking away at failure?
