Other websites are saying that on the central tower (the one in the rear) 3 of the four pinnacles have fallen and that the tower itself appears to be leaning.

For those who have never been there the structure is amazing. It was THE highlight of our visit to Washington D.C.

There is a picture of the damage on The Blaze.com. Caption notes that the damage was on the “RITE” spire. Too funny...

It is one of America's gems indeed!
The night view of the lighted Cathedral is magnificent.
I hope there is no significant damage.

It would probably be impossible to build a Cathedral like that in Washington in today's radical socialist environment.

A mosque, yes. A Christian Cathedral, doubtful.

My daughter txt me when it happened. She was next door at St Albans when the bells started ringing (the bells, the bells, I can’t stand the bells)

Anyway, it was odd since it wasn’t noon so everyone looked up - then they saw the tops of the spires topple.
