It looks like there was a bit more damage to the Washington Monument from the quake than originally thought.
From the WaPo...
More damage found inside the Washington Monument Wednesday, including a four-foot-long fissure in the pyramid-shaped cap at the top, indicates that the earthquake did not leave the capital region unscathed.
Five U.S. Park Service Police photos released late Wednesday show why the monument remains closed to the public — a block appears dislodged in the top of the monument and debris is scattered on the stairs and observation deck where millions of visitors have taken a look at the Capitol, Pentagon, White House and Lincoln Memorial.
