The main cable failure was on November 6th, where it fell down on its own 2 1/2 weeks later (days really) it was impossible to save. Repairs would have taken a year or so bare minimum is my guess, and that is being highly highly optimistic. I don't think they'd had time to do a full safety assessment, just to take one look and say "nuh uh, everybody off this thing".

Yeah, once a main cable had snapped it became clear that a) the remaining cables were more degraded and weaker than expected and b) the load on them had suddenly increased, so there was no safe way to stabilize it. There will be a press conference at 1PM local time but it doesn't look like there's much left to say.

It's clearly a crab, and barring the whole world exploding they'll probably find some crabs here.

Several completely different evolutionary lines have converged on crab, and more will in the future.

Oof. 10 workers caught up in it, 8 rescued. That wall looks pretty, I dunno, ragged? I'd expect bench cuts like that to look a lot smoother, and the benches themselves to be wider. Maybe they can't run profitably if they take more overburden out, which means, to be honest, you can't run.
