The arch was badly damaged under the sea and irreparable. Most people stayed safely indoors the day the arch collapsed as there was a terrific storm with gale force winds. However, I am told someone was taking photos, bent down for a moment and when he looked up ... the arch had gone. Gozo is still worth visiting - the inland sea is unusual next to where the arch stood. There is a second Azure Window - try to find it. Citadel is a must. Salt Pans. Gorgeous small beaches and unique reddish sand on Ramla beach. Lots to do here, even wintertime.
What you said about “sometimes you will never have the value of something until it becomes a memory” is so true in so many ways. It’s sad, but Life can be like that.
I’m so sad.. This wonderful location is now collapsed, I never got the chance to see it.. because I am born in Malta but then had to move to England the first time I was in Malta was in July 2018 and that was such a great experience it was a 2 week journey and now I’m on the plane to get there. I’m happy people could see it but I’m not that fortunate 😅
Because the only person who witnessed the actual collapse was an old Gozitan man who was walking down the road to see if his luzzu was still i take from the storm. No one was really expecting it even everyone knew it was expected
Arch in the blue pool will be next now it open the full fury of the elements. The sea has made huge underwater caves round this Island some safe to dive other not so. A ruggedly beautiful Island.
Unfortunately, the last photos don't show where the difference was before and after. Totally different angels. Hard to notice any changes. Thanks for nothing.
Such a shame. I remember this stunning landmark from a couple of shots at the end of the 1981 movie Clash Of The Titans. One of my favorite movies when I was a kid, and still is. Sad that nature has taken it :(
so sad but i feel lucky that i've been there and experienced this amazing place. possibly the most beautiful place i've been in my life
me too I'm so sad😓😓
דניאל לוין and me too!

my wife was out on that rock during the storm when it collapsed. I miss her everyday.
Matthew W did she pass away on the rock or later on in life?
Really sad. Even less beauty in this world now. I cannot believe nobody managed to film the actual collapse, though.
That is because it happened in the middle of the night in a hefty storm
@@Max_Kleiber Sad. But good information.

I was in Malta at the time and had planned to visit this place, it's so sad but that's nature's way.
see today what may be gone tomorrow
well said.
I can't, covid
I saw it when it's was one it's prime. Eventually Malta will get a new azure window.
There are also other natural arches, like the Wied il-Mielaħ Window or Blue Grotto
But what happened to the pillar? Is there a view of that?
What's the music?
im glad i got to see it back in september may it rest in piece
Really sad. I was planning to go there after 5-6 years. I'm 17 now. But.........
I was there just a few months ago. Sad to see such a landmark gone, sad for the people of Gozo :-(
Is it possible to find out who took the pre-collapse video?
Sad day for Malta but Gozo has much to offer visitors even without the azure window.
Very True , it is still a fantastic island and has lots to offer
Yes Gozo is lovely❤

Does Anyone know Why No one filmed it collapsing?

Certainly was a site to behold. Such a beautiful site lost...i cherish my times in Malta and Gozo ❤

Thanks for nothing.
I've been there in 2017 after a week that it was collapsed, so sad:(
Hopefully, it will be like the E.U

Heart braking ❤️
Too sad, too late(
Now that's a clean look

Damn they missed catching it on footage by a couple hours
At least noboday was hurt during the collapse for being under it or walking on the rock...
RIP
