Some physical materials were destroyed, but I am glad that so much
internet history is redundantly stored, (and can be easily searched
and can't easily be rewritten).

The loss of the internet archive would be in some ways worse than the
fire at Alexandria. I hope they can find funds to resume full
operations.
