Damage to the Washington Monument

1. The topic is the situation where, after an earthquake and hurricane hitting close to Washington DC, there are cracks in the Washington monument that have to be fixed before the attraction opens back up to the public.

2. The angle is looking at the situation from the tourist/engineer's view. The article states the damage and how long it will take to repair it.

3. Criteria: Unusualness, Prominence, Timeliness

4. In the process of making this a broadcasted piece would mean interviewing the people working on the site and disappointed tourists that did not get to go into the monument because of the damages. Some nice shots for the piece would be a wide view of the area, tourists looking onto the site and workers fixing the monument.
