Description:

Corrosion from rainwater, ice and lightning strikes has completely destroyed the upper half of the Eiffel Tower, and the iron is rusted through and teetering. A strong wind collapses it, and falls into the new marsh on the River Seine that has flooded the remnants of Paris. The right arm of the Statue of Liberty falls to the ground. The head cracks off and follows the arm some time later. The iron that makes up its skeleton has rusted through, and both parts were too weak to stay up, but its skin of copper plates is cleaner now than before due to cleaner skies and less tarnishing. Thick forests of trees over 90 feet tall completely cover the eastern half of North America. The Great Sphinx of Giza is buried again in the sands of the Sahara to survive for thousands of years in preservation, just as it had done for thousands of years before it was rediscovered for the first time.
