WASHINGTON MONUMENT DESTROYED BY TERRORIST

Washington DC- The George Washington Monument was destroyed on Sunday by a terrorist who calls himself THE MONUMENTINATER. The enormous structure, standing at 555' 5 1/8" and created from Marble, Granite and Sandstone, collapsed at 6:48 PM due to a lack of support near the base. When detectives searched the wreckage, they stated that the bricks were chiseled away from the inside of the building, though no sign of people entering the building was found on records, besides the usual packs of tourists.

Though the monument fell during visiting hours, nobody was found hurt inside. Authorities believed that it may have been because of the power cut from the elevator during tilt. 

"The power circuits broke loose from the elevator when the structure fell," Stated detective Carl Powell, "This caused the elevator to slide back down its shaft, removing weight from the top of the building, therefore greatly slowing the fall. On it's way down, the top of the monument was also snagged on a wall of the white house, hence breaking its fall."  All visitors were able to be rescued safely.

A note was found later, at the base of the fallen monument. The note, written on a postcard of Mt. Rushmore, read I'M MAKING HISTORY. The SWAT team has been sent to protect the mountain from any destruction. More will be held on this story as it develops.
