One of the largest and most photographed arches in Arches National Park has collapsed.

At least no-one blew this one up, which has happenned, though it wasn't mentioned in this article. Might have been another park.

I was at a park with arches, about 30 years ago. Don't remember which one now, but glad I got to see them when I did.

So, in this case "RIP" would mean "Rest in Pieces?"
I am about 25% sure of this.
