The telescope collapsed today. The receiver platform suspended above the dish broke free and fell. I hear the support towers came crashing down as well.
Go Ukraine! Piss on the Russian dead.

From the pics it looks like only the top 40 foot sections came off the masts. One of the demo options was to blow the cables with small charges. There was some fear that the release of tension would send the masts toppling outward. Glad to see those big columns of concrete mostly stayed put. A whole lot less complicated to drop those in a controlled manner now. The way it collapsed may have been for the best, that was a whole lot of stored energy up there.

Sad to see it go even in a world of virtual radio array telescopes orbiting in space.

Video footage of the collapse. It really shows the failure after the 0:40 mark.

Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
