Probably young bucks on a drunken rampage John, hopefully most of them will grow up one day. I did some stupid things in my youth as well, not quite as stupid as that though. When they grow up they'll realise just what arzeholes they were.

Very sad to see another landmark gone forever.
Now I too as others have stated here, wish i had done that trip when I too had the chance. Feel like i have lost a part of me. I hope someone comes to their sences and rebuilds it. I am sure people like us would love to be involved it the project.
