The Arecibo Observatory telescope in Puerto Rico collapsed. It was scheduled to be dismantled; a cable break had weakened the structure. No one was hurt.

This place was in a lot of movies. Anyone remember any?

I remember an episode of the PBS kids science show "321 Contact" & an episode of The X-Files...

There's a new one in China now that was featured on last week's episode of Fox's Cosmos.
