As a Puerto Rican BF franchise fan, i find it sad that our beloved telescope collapsed this morning, yet comically ironic that for years prior i was reliving the same moment match after match.
I worked at the Arecibo Observatory for a year in 2019 and my coworkers wondered how it would look if it collapsed so I showed them the BF4 levolution and now it happened for real and everyone is really sad for the loss of it
Oh shit...Maybe we should start considering all the other important stuff we break in video games and double check em real quick...You know...just in case. There is still a month left in 2020
Yeah I posted it as soon as it collapsed at 7 am because my friends called me crying because they lost their jobs Thankfully my contract ended a year ago
The much younger crowd will never have Goldeneye popping up in their heads. It was thanks to that film and the N64 game I got to see it for the first time as well, and then finding out around 2001 that it was an actual location. A loss for humanity indeed.
I am a Puertorican and a BF fan. As a kid I visted the observatory and as a pilot I actually watched it from the sky on my way from Aguadilla to San Juan. This morning, this horrible year took another part of our island away. Is sad to see this icon go. I just whish that like the map they will make a new one to honor the orginal.
After having looked at the live drone footage of the cables snapping + the footage of the actual telescope falling + the aftermath, it is crazy how accurate this demolition is.
Wow, BF4 predicted this would happen in 2020, the same year the game took place and the same year the levolution and the destruction of the observatory in real life would collapse. We feel for you Puerto Rican’s out there, stay safe and hope you feel better soon!
I'm certain that it will be rebuilt. Hopefully better. Stronger. And able to see even further into space. It will be like a phoenix, rising from the ashes of it's former body. Do not be despaired.
I live here in Puerto Rico and its so heartbreaking as a space enthusiasts, as a video game nerd, and as a puerto rican. I felt really but really really proud of our RT Observatory because it meant so much for this little island with big dreams. It served as an inspiration in my life to strive for anything I wanted regardless of where I'd come from. Again, it is really hard to see many people saying their goodbyes!
Rogue Transmission was the map I played on a 24/7 server when I first started playing the Battlefield franchise. Coming from CoD and switching to BF was such a difficult change and Rogue Transmission is where I learned many of the game mechanics and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Iconic map man,BF4 had #Levolution,hopefully BF6 will return with the Levolution feature. I almost got crushed by one of the pillars on one round. It was falling and I said to myself,"i'm so dead",but I lived only because I ended up in the middle gap of the pillar=D i'll NEVER forget that. Also,the easter egg on here was cool,especially the T-Rex. R.I.P. #RogueTransmissions,you will be missed:')
Hi i am a Puerto Rican local and i live in arecibo and it really hurt me when i heard the news and i am proud that so many people care about it. I love you all 💕 💜 ♥
And a reminder: BF4 is set in 2020. ;) Thank you for making a video on the news Flak, it's good to have the dish's unique connection to BF4 immortalized, especially considering its untimely fate.
Rogue Transmission gave me some fun memories. The most notable being me using the .50 on an MRAP to shoot down jets and helicopters to notable success.
Battlefield 4 released in 2013, but the game took place in 2020. 7 years later after launch. The same year it fictionally takes place, is now a reality. *If only they were to add a virus game mode. It would've been the most accurate foreshadowing in gaming history*
Don't wanna be a buzzkill but it's actually based on the FAST "Tianyan" in Southwest China. Though in fairness it's towers and ball are basically carbon copies of Aricebo
Its depressing but Puerto rico is just a big mess with shootings and violence every night, dont forget the corrupt goverment! Right now the only good thing about Puerto rico is for tourism, nothing else I'm sad to say😔 It needs the Hawaii treatment and become a state
I went there as a child and my uncle bought me this scale model of it. It was fantastic to see it in person. I hope this icon of our island gets rebuild stronger and better than ever.
Honestly even if we saw a space danger coming I don’t think we’d be able to do much about it. Don’t know much about the worlds governments plans for any dangerous things coming from space but I heard somewhere the extent of our planning for asteroids and the like is just something along the lines of nuke it until it’s breaks into small enough pieces it stops being a threat.
It's unfortunate we lost such a great structure but there is so much tension in the cables, after these years, it does make sense that such weathering and ground shaking that she came down. But, a remarkable place for sure. I'm glad no lived were lost or at harm!
I'm sad about it going away because historical sites and artifacts like these are one of a kind and hold a special place in my heart for their intrigue and contribution to humankind. This marvelous place will only be remembered in pictures and documentation, never to be seen by human eyes again. I'm glad I got to see it while I was in Puerto Rico a while back, absolutely worth the long drive from Isabella to see it.
