Been reading about the incident & i can't get over the fact that it's being left to rust away underground.
I can't believe a 3rd world, financially depressed country like Peru will not take advantage of the situation & exhume the rock & make what would obviously be a huge profit.
Seem's a shame the meteorite is being left to be destroyed by the elements when it could be used to help the people.

There has been a large amount of material removed, I even have a piece in my collection. I was under the impression all that could be removed had been?

It’s not finishing something when your tank is empty that makes you a stronger person. It’s brushing yourself off and refacing the foe that defeated you with the same determination and willingness to fight that you had when you began your journey.

The main mass still remains in the crater.
I read an article yesterday (should've saved it) saying there had been security on post for the crater 24/7 since the fall & that the government was removing it for transfer to border points to counter increasing turmoil.
It was a Peruvian based news bit that i'll try to find again & post a link.
