Like the rest of the commenters I feel horrified about this.

But why do I feel this way? The vast majority of buildings are demolished and recycled. What is about this one--the age, I assume? Maybe it's a symbol of humanity's time on the earth--but why is that personally important to me?

Maybe I'm nuts but I think it's fascinating to really dig into the "why" behind such a common emotional reaction.
