Overview

Azure Window Collapse refers to the collapse of the rock formation located off an island of Malta known as the "Azure Window." The event was met with sadness and dark humor.

The Azure Window

History

The natural icon was a popular spot in pop-culture.[1] For example, it served as the background to the wedding of Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo in the first season of Game of Thrones (shown below).

On March 8th, 2017, a storm hit Malta and caused the Azure Window to collapse into the sea.

Shortly after the collapse, Maltese and English meme-makers began to make jokes about the rock formation's collapse. Lovin Malta[2][3] posted two compilations of jokes made on social media about the collapse that day. Times of Malta[4] posted a compilation as well.
