I didn't know it was used in the first season of GOT. Sad.

Saw a photo of people walking on it. Just last year that was prohibited - a £1500 fine - so guess the photo is from before that.

Reminds me of the collapsed "London Bridge" by the (no longer 12) "Twelve Apostles" - a good account is at

Just saw this on the news. I was in Malta for a week just a couple years ago but didn't get up to see it. Figured, I'll come back and see it next time. Sometimes there is no next time.

I was there a year ago and was amazed at the beauty. Sad day.

We are planning our first trip to Malta this year and I was so looking forward to seeing this. Now I wish we had taken this trip last year. What a sad day.
