Malta's Azure Window Collapses Into the Sea (timesofmalta.com)
New submitter Duvzo writes: Sadly, our famous [Azure Window] landmark disappeared today, and not just the arch but the whole offshore stack has vanished. Strong gale force winds hit Malta yesterday, ultimately causing their landmark to collapse. Malta's prime minister, Joseph Muscat, said the news was heartbreaking. "Reports commissioned over the years indicated that this landmark would be hard hit by unavoidable natural corrosion. That sad day arrived," he said.
Slashdot reader Duvzo notes that the landmark was featured in Clash of the Titans and Game of Thrones. It served as the backdrop to the Dothraki wedding scene in the Game of Thrones.

Just because an Azure instance crashes, along with an entire Windows stack, does not make this a news-for-nerds story.
I dare say we know who is responsible for this, as in all things.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
It didn't help that people kept tombstoning off it despite fences and signs saying please don't because it's fragile and you're wearing it away by doing so.
I still have a piece of it in my necklace, but fortunately I'm far up North now, so you might say I'm wearing it away. Not to be pendantic or anything.
