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.
Geologic feature disappears, Slashdot readers are indifferent. Headphone jack disappears, Slashdot readers lose their mind.
