In August of this year an earthquake hit Washington and cracked the Washington Monument. The monument is a little over 555ft. tall so if it cracks it has a big chance of the crack becoming bigger and eventually breaking and falling. Workers were working on it to make sure that there were no cracks and no problems with it. I think this is a good idea just to be extra sure that it doesnt fall or break. I support this because the Washington Monument is special to people living in Washington and other parts of the U.S. And we dont want to see it break and fall because that would be tragic.
