Sorry, only kidding, just couldn't resist, I'm not aware of anyone being
injured in that building.

I do hope they had already removed the mechanism and will go ahead and
rebuild it, in some form, as they have indicated up to now. There can't be
many of these timeballs in the world today and the loss of even one is
significant. They may not be at the same level as time-nuts today but they
were as significant as GPS in their day.
