National Park Service: Washington Monument to remain closed 'indefinitely' - Washington Times: "The National Park Service says it has no time frame for reopening the Washington Monument, which has been closed to the public since cracks appeared after a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck the area Aug. 23.
“The good news is, the monument is structurally sound. It’s not going anywhere,” said Bob Vogel, superintendent for the Mall, on Monday. But when asked for a date the popular 555-foot tourist attraction would reopen, he said, “Unfortunately, we can’t answer that question.”
The Park Service on Monday also released three videos taken during the earthquake at the monument´s 500-foot observation level. The videos show the monument shaking noticeably as debris falls from above and people scramble for stairwells."
