More bad news for Aruban Tourism
Natural Coral Bridge Collapses in Aruba
September 02, 2005 1:04 PM EDT ORANJESTAD, Aruba - A natural coral bridge that spanned a cove along Aruba's west coast collapsed before dawn Friday, destroying one of the island's biggest tourist attractions. The bridge, the largest of its kind in the Caribbean, was 25 feet high and 100 feet long, said Tourism Minister Edison Briesen. The cause was not immediately known, he said. "It's a very sad day for Aruba and for its tourism," Briesen said. "A picture of the bridge appears in almost every promotional flier, and more tourists visit it than any other attraction."

Reefs and corals are dying and declining world wide, so that may have had an influence in the collapse as well.
You happen to know a link to a picture, Spock? I'm curious how it looked.

That was a pretty big bridge! I always thought coral bridges were underwater.
