The guys working this job my respect and prays for their safety goes out to them.This thing is a monster.

I am pretty sure at least 1 item will survive and i know exactly where it will be found. A 5.5 ton meteorite named Pedra do Bendególives lives there. Unlikely its going to get to the sustained temps causing it to melt.well over may have some soot on it,and due to its hulking mass its going to be found in the basement directly below where it was displayed.

At least they will have one item left.

but besides that wanted to share, sad day for a great deal of history,
