It's terrible that those bells will never ring again. After the earthquake today, half of the tower is gone.

@plusplusplusplusp A small amount of good news is that at least 2 of the bells are still intact!

@irkibby

Oooh. If they rebuild the tower I think they should re-install the old bells as a reminder. That is good news.

@irkibby UPDATE: 10 Bells have been found now.

@TheBabySpinosaurus intact?? It is a miracle that any were not destroyed.

@TheBabySpinosaurus UPDATE: The bells themselves are fine, except the 5 which is needing a recast!! And the headstocks and other fittings...
