Huh, think I missed those the first time around. They would have made for an interesting thing to come across in a post-apocalyptic campaign, but I guess now you'll have to set the point of divergence prior to 7/6/22 to have them show up - unless you opt to have them put back up (doesn't look like that's in the cards, however, given that after the attack the government (not sure if state or local) opted to simply tear the rest of them down (I'm guessing on account of it no longer being stable, and them not wanting to deal with someone getting flattened after crossing the "do not cross" tape).

Of course, you can find no shortage of people online praising the illegal destruction of a public monument, but that's hardly surprising these days.
