Dude:

On a particularly blustery Sunday, an 1856 statue of Ben Franklin positioned along the city’s Freedom Trail came tumbling down.

Bonnie McGilpin, a spokeswoman for Mayor Martin J. Walsh, said city officials believe the bronze statue fell over around 1 p.m.

Images shared by the mayor’s office show that the head of the Franklin statue cracked the ground below it when it toppled.

Is Ben trying to tell us something?
