A couple of those are not the same. When it happens by genuine accident it is not the same as vandalism.

I didn't call it vandalism. I consider it to be an equivalent loss whether it happened with intent, by accident, or a freak of nature. It's all sad to me.

Does it really make sense to apply the perception of loss for something that nature gives and takes without human influence?

For example, all those interesting formations and places that disappeared 1000 years ago - so we've never seen those in the first place - are those also losses?

By that logic, wouldn't be any form of natural change be huge tragedy, an endless sequence of losses?
