Prague Charles Bridge threatened by restoration

"We're talking about a hundred stones, if not more," says Martin Kadrman, one of those who launched the Save Charles Bridge initiative. Kadrman reckons that at least 70 percent of the blocks now in place are new and some of the original ones cannot be accounted for.

At October 2008 a ministry report warned that renovations had "significantly damaged the authenticity" of the bridge since starting the previous year.

People do crazy things to cultural heritage even though they claim themselves being so proud of it, and at the same time so much benefited by it. No wonder why our great developers and government pay no attention to monuments which they have never heard of.

p.s. for those who love ridiculous questions, do the quotes remind you anything funny?
