"For a lot of people it genuinely did hold some sentimental significance." The tree has stood for many generations of families and people who graduated.
The tree collapsed during the night.

As policy makers know well — and Germany perhaps better than any — major debt overhangs are solved only by writing down the debt. And the longer the delay, the deeper the pain.
'Sword of Damocles'
n.
Constant threat; imminent peril:
"the Latin American debt, overhanging American banks like the sword of Damocles" (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).
Gas Tanker Takes Shortcut to Asia
A
tanker full of liquefied natural gas is about to complete a trip
through the Arctic Ocean to Asia, as a combination of climate change,
the shale-gas revolution and the earthquake in Japan opens a potentially
disruptive trade route.
Modern kitchen stoves have both burners on the top (also known in American English as the
cooktop or
range and, in British English, the
hob) and, as noted, an oven. A
cooktop just has burners on the top and is usually installed into a
countertop. A
drop-in range has both burners on the top and an oven and hangs from a cutout in the countertop (that is, it cannot be installed free-standing on its own).
