That's wack

But it can be rebuilt.

Delirium · February 11th, 2008, 05:20 AM

woah, was that one a reconstrcution?

either way, they'll have to rebuild it right?

A landmark in London also burned to the ground. Saw it on the news yesterday.

I'm sure this beauty will be rebuilt.

this really sucks..

I am so upset

***Manila-X*** · February 11th, 2008, 05:32 AM

Was it arson?

If it is, I think there should be serious penalites for burning down a landmark

Its an original, but was restored back in (i think) the 60's

Sad to see. I hope it will be rebuilt very soon.

According to some Russian news companies it was an arson.

Anyway, if they decide to rebuild it, it won't be the same. It will be just a copy, not an ancient masterpiece.

The only thing but it can still be a symbol that a landmark destroyed can be rebuilt again.

That's why there should be security on important landmarks so no perp would attempt to burn something down.

Just like this Manila landmark

WTF !!! i feel like crying.

This is such an awesome landmark that it was also created in SimCity.

***Jonesy55*** · February 11th, 2008, 11:25 AM

That's terrible, a reconstruction can be made but it will never be quite the same

Hope they catch the person that did this (if it was indeed arson)

city_thing · February 11th, 2008, 11:26 AM

Oh wow, that was so iconic of Seoul.

I remember seeing it on CNN sometimes when in their adverts where everything was moving really fast around it. That's really sad.

FREKI · February 11th, 2008, 11:29 AM

Ahh man, what a shame it looked great!

Hopefully they'll restore it to it's old look

ØlandDK · February 11th, 2008, 11:45 AM

japanese001 · February 11th, 2008, 11:47 AM
