Note person standing below bell. It was cast in 1922.
Clap on [clap clap]
Clap off [clap clap]
48,000 lb clapper? Wow.. the damage that thing must have done when it fell.
When I saw the headline, I assumed it was “silenced” due to Muslim complaints. I’m glad to see it was a mechanical issue that can be resolved.

Sorry but I just couldn’t take it anymore.
