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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heritage_damaged_during_Syrian_civil_war
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.
