- Footage released by the National Science Foundation shows the moment a huge radio telescope collapsed in Puerto Rico on Tuesday. The Arecibo Observatory played a key role in astronomical discoveries for more than half a century but had been scheduled for demolition in November by the US National Science Foundation because of pre-existing damage.

*Battlefield 4 Theme in the Background
Bada ba ba du dun!
We did it sooo many times in BF 4 that it eventually affected reality
Very very similar hole
2020 in a nutshell
Public funding cuts?
@@toyotaprius79 everything
True...
worst year
who else is hear thinking thats bf4 irl
It's just like the simulations
Bf4 comes to life. Life imitating art
From the first message sent out to the stars in hopes of a return message to Goldeneye this has been a noticeable landmark for me
"For England James?"
No, for me
I am invincible! ☃️
👊😂👍
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
YES! Hahaha
Somewhere at the bottom of that rubble, Sean Bean is still screaming.
mint mate, mint
This killed me
And Alan Cumming's still frozen solid ☃️
@@rubberghost8566 na he’s invincible he just thawed 😂
Fun fact : in battlefield 4 you can destroy exactly same telescope in exactly same way 👀.
Isn't battlefield 4 set in 2020??

Stand by for China rising dlc
Levolution is really cool on that engine
I think it was a support guy that placed some C4 near the cables, this levolution seems pretty accurate though 👀
Whelp, there goes the Golden Eye reboot project.
Oh man that's crazy. I saw this thing a long time ago, looks like they sent that drone up there in the right time to catch it's demise.
@@davidz2690 ah that makes sense
Perhaps the drone caused its demise, perhaps there is something they don't want us to see or know, but they can't stop the coming of our Lord and Saviour who we need now more the ever. 🙏🙏🙏

He's a bit late, he originally said some of the people he was speaking to would still be alive when he came back.
@@grahvis well, it's a long story 🙂 however it would seem the constellations are showing the same pattern of planetary alignment as 2,000 years ago ( according to watchmen on RUclips using Stellarium) . And scripture says we will not be able to miss the coming of our Lord in the Heavens. Matthew 24, Luke 21, Acts 2, 2 Timothy 3, Revelation... 🙏🙏🙏
@@francesshealingpoemsfortwo5734
What do the constellations have to do with anything?
Matthew 16 v 28
" Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
Don't you see a problem with that?
As someone that's actually been there in person I'm saddened by all of this.
They got the some of the first communication from unknown life with it as well. They only hinted to it though. I wanted to see it when I first found out about it. 🙁
@timetime6937 yea, im sure thats factual. Lol
@@koipond4090 And you know better?
Is this where Goldeneye was filmed?? I immediately thought of that movie for some reason. Also, I hope no one was hurt by this collapse
We all know who chewed on that cable :)
more up votes pls
@Kyle Robinson 🙏
That's a lot of damage...
That squirrel from the movie 'ice age'
@@JoseRodriguez-pe1vevery fitting 😂
2020 can’t get any worse
December 2020:
Isn’t this a bf4 map boys ?
Dice predicting the future right here
@@SaltyMaltyMo 😂
True boy
It’s actually based on a similar telescope in China but yeah it looks just like rogue transmission lol
i was searching for a comment talking about bf4 LOL
Trevelyan: For England James ?
James: No For Me
Battlefield 4 did it in 2013
For a game that is set in 2020....
I want to know who won the bet 🤣
Alec: For England James?
James: No, For Me!!
Levolution feelings!!
Welp. Cancel that dream of seeing this place with my own eyes then.
Drone operation complete fail. You had one job man!!
He caught some of it, so not complete!
It helped us so much and this is how we repay it! Let me guess..budget cuts. What a joke.
People already knew this would happen weeks before this
My brain be like: "This looks like the one in movies"
Please sign the petition to rebuild it
Probably a few more important things.....like rebuilding notre dame or more tax breaks for billionaires
“For England James?”
Bf4 on ps5... Graphics are great guys
Repurpose the bowl into a skateboard park?
it will probably be returned to nature. must have been an environmental nightmare to build...
Given its former role in searching the heavens , maybe the most appropriate comment would be: “Look out!”
RIP to those baby and eggy birbs that lived on trees nearby.
honestly at this point I'mready for an extinction event in January
Keep your eyes on the sky.
ET didn’t phone home, Mic drop.
Wonder what the price tag was for that
And of course, none of the major news outlets will pick this story up...
The cable: do you trust me
The satellite dish: with every cell of my body
Another 2020 milestone.
This is one of the features in the Battlefield 4 game, Type in "battlefield 4 Transmission levolution easter egg" and you can watch this giant dish collapsing excactly as it has shown on this video. Battlefield 4 has been out for years now, this just freaked me out.
why was the drone there to begin with? it's almost as if it was expecting for that moment to happen.
The dismantling of the observatory was announced on the local PR news weeks before it happened. Not a surprise!
That’s because two cables had already snapped/slipped out
This isn’t a dismantling, it’s a collapse. That would very much make it a surprise 🙄
Its like your wifi going down......Nooooooooooo
That was nuts!
BF4 was set in 2020, now this happens, Coincidence?
Was this perhaps a controlled demolition? Decommissioning of the site?
Pretty much, the people that work there have been trying to get it fixed for months but the National Science Foundation never approved the work, they let it collapse.
@@efrainrondon5753 Who runs the NSF? A Trump appointee?
They got the some of the first communication from unknown life with it as well. They only hinted to it though. Coincidence?
That's a lot of damage xD
Why was there a drone just chilling waiting to video that?
GOLDENEYE!!!!
"for England James".....
The drone just happened to be filming that exact time 🤔
Maybe they knew the problem prior to the collapse..
@@DeeT18X yes possibly 👍🙂
i think they sent the drone up to see what damage there was without putting human life at risk
Just like battlefield 4 😂
It was the aliens from the Charlie sheen movie
Looks like Mir station falling
WHY DID MASA LET THIS HAPPEN!?
I guess Boris won't be able to use the satellite again. Anyway rest in peace!
So that’s the telescope I used to see in Physics text books
Yep, it’s basically the Empire State Building or Golden Gate Bridge of Puerto Rico. Very famous.
So they had a drone filming it like they knew it was to collapse. Demolition maybe?
Nah, just an earthquake earlier that day, so they sent up the drone to inspect the cables for any more damages
So they can’t rebuild it ?
*Muffled Dr No theme in the distance*
dr no?
*for england james?*
Levolution!
Now the aliens are free to walk up right to our doorstep.
Anyone gonna put the cradle song from golden eye n64 😂
BF4 Rogue Transmission
RIP Sean Bean. Lol
Aaaa ahí va el antenna cradle
Those cables should have been replaced years ago
Goldeneye
Is 007 alright?
He's fine. 006......... not so much.
For England James?
No... for me.
Who pays for these massive structures?
How do they make money to pay back the costs?
How do they pay all the employees and maintenance?
Every Gov't initiative doesn't need to generate revenue. Gov't is not a business.
Businesses aim to give you as little as possible, while taking as much as possible.
When people say to run Gov't like a business, that's what you'll get...
How does the military make money to pay back the 740 bil a year?
How does the interstate system make money? The FDA, CIA, FBI?
Not the largest in the world any longer so the prestige value was gone.
Aliens confirmed
I can’t believe it’s gone.😭
Same here ... what a loss for science ...
💔😭
OH NO Our telescope, Its broken!
No Just Cause 2 comments yet 🤔
Golden eye collapse
It's kinda crazy because I went there once
How does your visit there make this crazy?
Ok Guys.. 2020 was a Battlefield 2 .. and same collapse on map
Meh, I did this perk in BF4...... nothing to see here.
A drone just HAPPENED to be there when it broke? What amazing timing, and such an intelligent drone to know exactly when it was going to collapse.
The drone is part of the observatory it wasnt there just because of a coincidence
They also knew the collapse was imminent. The telescope was due to break apart soon due to lacking maintenance since it’s not used as often.
2 cables popped off in recent weeks,so they had drones checking all the time.
Just cause 2 and Battlefield 4 knew it would happen
I pigeon landed on the cable and started peeking the cable.
You mean pecking-right?
Maybe the Aliens heard that...
Insurance
yikes
what can i say ... just Battlefield 4 ...
Pierce Brosnan liked this, Sean Bean disliked this
A microcosm of America
Great things built 50 years ago by hard working patriots. Then left to gradually rot and decay and collapse. While we film it with our cell phones for entertainment.
It looks like just cause 3.
Awww man shoulda blown it up Battlefield style
All i see is money down the drain.. Prayers to Puerto Rico!
Wait there was no helicopter rescue, that means 007 fell too. 😱
RIP 😥😥😥😥😥
everything dies
RICO.. is that you ?
Ok who shot the Wires !?
Worst drone footage ever!
They found somthing
