England's most photographed tree, the sycamore standing in a dip of Hadrian's Wall for well over a century, was illegally felled with a chainsaw in the early morning of September 28, 2023; ten months later a National Park ranger found twelve new shoots growing from the base of the stump. The two men who cut it down were convicted of criminal damage in May 2025 and sentenced to four years and three months each, and the first seedling grown from the tree's seeds was presented to King Charles III.
After the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2018 Sulawesi disaster, photographs of mosques standing nearly alone amid flattened neighborhoods became symbols of divine protection; engineers point to reinforced construction, open ground floors, and charity funding that skipped the corner-cutting of ordinary housing — and the same disasters offer the counterexample, including a Palu mosque named Baiturrahman where 300 worshippers died at evening prayer.
