    And didnt find it anywhere else! Apparently the globe scraped the bridge by China and had some damage but by the evening it was ok.

    Just thought it was interesting. i briefly looked here and didnt see any mention of it, sorry if there is already!

    I would hope it wasn't the globe. That would be the most sensitive element, and the hardest to fix in short order.
