      as fan of space exploration we all had gut -wrenching pain watching it fell/structurally failed. When news broke, we were Pleading to try to save it. Sadly they let it deteriorate so it was beyond the point where they could safely work to replace the bad damaged support cables.
      Watching the the support cables explode from tension with paint flying off the cables as if a bomb had been set off under the paint layers was scary, sadden and amazing physics. Then came the next one, another cable failure that violently catastrophically failed, leaving the few remaining support cables severely overloaded far far beyond their maxim "Yield" strength and "Breaking" strength. Which as the inevitable happened the sheer amount of force released from the cable towers holding that center platform of instruments up was scary. Massive concrete structures whipped backwards and forwards as they acted and reacted and then reacted again and again to the forces created from the release of weight & forces they were once holding .
      Whoever finds these comments in 5-10 years when this Arecibo Telescope collapse is not in your memories(we doubt you'll be taught about it, unless in an engineering class about catastrophic collapses and what leads to them and how violent they are. ), please look for the collapse videos here on youtube.
      Also read the comments, they will be repetitive at times but lots of people had questions for "how and why that Radar Telescope was not able to be repaired" and when that was explained, then came "how in the hell did they allow it to get to the point?" questions. Where even just 1 human worker should not(under high risk of death) go onto any of the structure to try and fix things and/or mount addition cameras. It was inspected by drones with cameras (these were just becoming wide spread for such uses at the time of the collapse and required commercial drone pilots) being flown around as the authorities knew it was not if but a matter of when in the next few days it was going to come crashing down. Destroying the concrete crater dish below and ripping ripping apart the support towers....The thing look like a bomb had gone off on multiple places and the impact was one of feeling of extreme loss.
      There are fewer and fewer places where such style of telescopes can be built due to their size and contamination from human population's pollution all over the EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency) waves. EMF is everything you see and hear , plus all the other frequencies humans can't with our limited eyes and ears.....

    There was a famous nightclub in Boston in the 40's that was also called The Coconut Grove. It burned down one night in the 40's, it was over-crowded, it also had a revolving door at the main entrance as the only public access/exit. It jammed almost immediately and people just piled up behind it and died. It remains the deadliest fire in the US to this day and there's an ordinance in the city of Boston that the name can never be used again on any business. It's also the reason why whenever you see a revolving door there are always regular doors on either side of it.

      As a lover of science, hearing that the Arecibo observatory in Puerto Rico was irreparably damaged, was very upsetting. Having been the second largest (single-dish) radio telescope in the world, its destruction was a huge blow to astronomical science everywhere. Also, the Radio observatory was a huge incubator for STEM education in Puerto Rico and many students who trained there have gone on to become astronomers, planetary scientists and more. When the U.S. government decided not to rebuild it, as it was determined that other U.S. government observatories could perform the same mission, it was very saddening.
      It always angers me how seemingly little support we on the mainland give to our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico. Some Americans (typically stupid / ignorant ones) don’t even realize that it is a part of the U.S. and despite the fact that it has nearly 3.3 million people, which is more people than there are in Nevada, and it still doesn’t have the same privileges and rights that a State, Commonwealth or Republic of the U.S. enjoys. It has a GDP of over $106 billion, which would knock New Hampshire out of 40th place and is a beautiful U.S. territory with wonderful people and is also a great vacation destination within the U.S.

    A ton of casinos in movies we've seen have long since been demolished. The one seen in _National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation_ had one that doesn't exist anymore. It was the one Clark and Eddy go to for that super cheap buffet ("Mm, the bread pudding's extra runny tonight!") which was used for a few scenes. It was scheduled for demolition but the crew had a few scenes worked in.
    _Terminator_ had many locations featured which were torn down or redone in the past few decades. That "Tech Noir" dance club didn't last long. The gun shop ("Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.") is a car dealership, Carrow's restaurant (where Sarah worked) was bought out.

Stanly Kubrick was looking for a filming location for the Vietnam part of Full Metal Jacket and discovered that the Becton Gas Works was going to be demolished which was perfect since it mostly had the kind of partially-destroyed-building aesthetic that he wanted and he could change it (build things on the site, alter buildings, knock bits down, blow bits up etc) without needing to worry about what the site looked like when it was done since the entire place was going to be demolished and cleared anyway.

    I was fortunate to visit the Arecibo telescope when I had flown Madeleine Albright to Puerto Rico, and she went off to do whatever she was going to do for several days, leaving myself and the other pilot to explore the island. Just the climb from the parking lot up to the main building was a physical trial, but looking out on that huge dish with the iconic moveable transmitter assembly was really a treat. We also visited the Camuy caverns nearby. Years later, after the hurricane damaged much of the island, I went back with a missionary team to help reconstruct a Bible college just outside of San Juan.

    One specific to Manchester (UK) is 24 Party People. Much of the film centred around the rise and fall of the city's legendary Hacienda nightclub and they faithfully shot the exterior scenes outside the building itself. However, since then, the building was demolished and a block of flats bearing the same name now stands in its place.

    In terms of the cast and set design I completely agree with you! I wasn't happy with how the storylines changed but they did a great job casting people to look like the characters and building beautifully intricate and accurate sets. HOWEVER, if they show me Ba Sing Se (which is based off of beijing) and the landscape is in Southwest NA I'm going to have some questions.

    With my first digital camera I returned to a unique foto location in London I fell in love with during the early 90s, only do find out it had been demolished and constantly changed since then. The Brick Lane area (Bethnal Green) in London was dominated by the elevated railway ("Braithwaite viaduct") and all the brick works related to the tracks and bridges and the old Bishopsgate freight yard and train station itself. It was long abandoned and demolition started in 2003, ripping away an important peace of London's modern history.
    Because of Brexit I'm not eager to return to London soon, so I have to stay with Google Street View and the two Ubisoft's games recreating London ...

    I may have missed this in the comments below. In the Bond movie GoldenEye, the Aricebo telescope was actually a stand-in for a fictional site hidden inside Cuba. It was underwater until they needed to use it, then was raised up to its full height. A lot of BS, of course, but at the time that was the watch-cry of the Bond movies. The fight scenes all around the facility were quite good.

War Memorial Stadium from The Natural is now gone as well. So is the Orange Bowl from the movie Black Sunday.
