Antenna maintenance is essential. Small, medium, large antennas must be checked, inspected, always, before it's too late.

Sure, but this is not the case.
Arecibo radiotelescope was deadly damaged by hurricane Maria.
Another sign of climate changes.

The case of Arecibo is a sad but classic case of negligence and budget cuts. The hurricanes did not killed it, they just gave it the final blow. Working with them in 2014 for the ISEE-3 recovery, they were already struggling then for basic maintenance.
Achim, thanks for your contribution. Earthquakes have also given a blow but these natural events I believe are part of the project. So, the next question might be this: why did they let him die?
how sad ...
