Ancient Olympia just burned to the ground.

*curls into a ball*

eta: After a whole DAY of conflicting reports, it seems that while the fire was in the grounds and burned a good portion of the woods, they managed to save the ancient site and museum. It's by no means the end of this, but it's a huge relief for me.

There are conflicting reports, but most journalists there say they saw the flames go over the ancient site. Nobody seems to be able to confirm whether they saved the museum.

I just heard conflicting reports in one 5 min news show: "is saved" and "is burning downs right now". Wasn't on purpose from the show either. They also said seven arrests so far.
God, this is all so horrible.

According to the latest, the consensus is that they managed to save most of Olympia at least. Thank God(s) for small favours.
