Washington Monument cracked in quake

According to a Politico blurb, unofficial reports of the Washington Monument tilting after yesterday's earthquake led park officials to inspect the national monument for damage.  As it turns out, the rumors we all heard on local radio yesterday proved untrue: the monument is still upright.  Sadly, however, a crack has formed near the top of the obelisk, and the structure and surrounding area are closed to the public until further notice.
