WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Washington National
Cathedral, the highest building in the city, suffered damage in
Tuesday's earthquake, with three pinnacles in the central tower
breaking off, a spokesman said.
Richard Weinberg, director of communications at the
Episcopal cathedral, said a fourth pinnacle was leaning and
might also be damaged. The building's central tower, which is
30 stories high, also suffered minor structural damage.
Other damage reported from the earthquake occurred at the
Ecuador Embassy, a recorded message by the DC Fire and EMS
agency said.
