Hello,
In the Netherlands there luckily are no destructions/disasters which destroyed more then
one (or a few) monuments. But also without these many monuments get destroyed. Those are
maybe not the most special ones. But fires, owners who do not care. I think althought each
of these cases are small. Together they make up a lot of the buildings destroyed.
The best example for that is probably one of the winning pictures in Russia last year. The
burning church. That was a monument which was captured in its final moments. [1]
In a dutch monuments magazine there was an article on fire in monuments. Last year I
happened to have pictured almost all buildings in a dutch city called Kampen. In January
this year one of those burned down. [2] Besides that there are the buildings which get
destroyed by the time (no maintenance) Those are maybe not almost the most special cases.
But I expect these make up a lot of the damage. This 2 categories also are around
everywhere, in each country there are fires.
I think making lists of all buildings which get destroyed this way is a little bit to big
for a side project. Maybe some heritage organisations allready made these lists. But
making a list of special cases (very special to the earth/special because we have a great
capture of these) is a good idea. Another thing is that for WLM people can also upload
pictures. So it might not yet be to late. Maybe a top 10 or 100 (aim high?) of buildings
which sadly got destroyed but do not yet have a picture. A sort of "most wanted
pictures (from lost buildings)" would be cool.
Mvg,
Bas

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oudestraat_10_-_Kampen.jpg there are 10.000
buildings like these, so not one of the most special cases. But there are also lots of
these cases[3]

lots of cases. Not the most special building but today the hole in the roof is even
bigger.

I don't think there was many utterly destroyed heritage last year, but
partially damaged for sure. Examples: shelled mosquees minarets in
Syrian civil war, buildings and documents burned in Egypt revolution,
some damages in buildings and churches in the Italian earthquake,
attacks in Timbuktu WHS, some damages and looting in Lybia uprising and
war, and more.
If Israel attacks Iran and war breaks out, probably there will be damages, as were in
Iraq, Lybia, Egypt and Syria.
I started this:

And Oscar Valdebenito references are nice for another list focused in Chilean earthquake.

I was wondering if somebody had (or was willing to prepare) a list of
monuments around the world that could have been photographed
during WLM 2011 timeline but no longer exist.
I think it would make for a great piece of news for release during the
contest, in the lines of [[en:Wikipedia:There is a deadline]] essay, to
motivate participation.
