Kinda sad to see a lot of history go up in smoke.

Pretty damn accurate metaphor for the country as a whole unfortunately.

Yelnick McWawa, it's not a coincidence. There are people protesting claiming that it happened because of budget cuts, although it seems like perhaps they also diverted funds from one line item to another too. Before we as Americans cast the first stone, we did fail to protect all of our WWII documents that went up in smoke in the 70s.

Almost incalculable what was lost. Multiple holotypes, the bones of the oldest known human in the Americas, valuable fossils including some of the most spectacular pterosaur fossils from around the world that were there as part of a special exhibit, and the building itself that used to house royalty.
