Machu Picchu Intihuatana damaged during beer commercial.
The Intihuatana Stone (Hitching post), used for measuring the equinoxes, was damaged in September 2000 when a 450 kg (1,000-pound) crane fell onto it, breaking off a piece of stone. The crane was being used to film an advertisement for a beer commercial.
"Machu Picchu is the heart of our archaeological heritage and the Intihuatana is the heart of Machu Picchu. They've struck at our most sacred inheritance," said Federico Kaufmann Doig, a Peruvian archaeologist.

Anyone got any more on this one..?
