At least 6,000 items were saved and no one was injured.

While this is indeed tragic, I find it interesting that the Bible is always the one "priceless" work that seems to get saved (no pun intended).

Not as tragic as all those 100s of Russian schoolkids and their parents being murdered. That has been my tragic news of the day.

Yes, the incedent in Russia is very terrible indeed, but that topic is for the Off Topic table...this is the Archaeology table, so the topic refers to such.
