I wouldn't be suprised if the government had destroyed this amazing sculpture which shed an archaic light upon our modern human species! Check my video called Stonehenge Decoded
I saw the Old Man of the Mountain many times when I was a kid. My mother loved to vacation in the New England States and a regular stop for my family was Franconia Notch. Even as a kid, more than 30 years ago, I remember hearing that the rock structure was very fragile and required maintenance to keep it from falling apart and that no matter what was done to preserve it eventually it would disappear. I guess nature finally decided that it was time for the Old Man to go.
naturally i believe i did get to see the old man of the mountain and he fell down in 2003 in the month of may when it comes may itll be 5 years since he fell all you can see is the forehead now

@RockBandPlayingTaco It was routinely maintained and held in place by cables, but it was originally a natural Rorschach test.

Sadly nothing lasts forever. Such formations are ephemeral on geological time scales.
