After two of the cables that support the instruments above the plate, failed the telescope collapse, sad day for science and the humanity, a window to the universe is destroyed
 
They've been saying that the cables couldn't be reattached.

...hold my beer...
 
Coming down?

It's already started.

Coming down for breakfast, no.
 
There were some structural problems for a while. They should have been addressed and maybe the collapse could have been prevented.
Negligence.
 
Here's the blow by blow from drone footage and a camera near the control room. BTW, wasn't this in a James Bond film?

 
yes, GoldenEye.
Oh, yeah. I thought they blew that up.
