The Met recently posted a wanted ad for an expert in rigging; somebody that is supposed to know how to lift and tie extremely heavy objects in a way that doesn't show the cables and support structure. So, either the previous person did not do such a good job and the rigging let go of the wall, or the terra-cotta piece itself cracked and let go of the rigging.

Think Fox news will come in with a camera crew to show it laying on the ground, as they did that model who jumped?
