When Hiroshima was bombed, a statue of Buddha, in another city, “cried”; water leaked from its eyes.

18 years later, there was an American woman who made glass sculpture. One of her creations, never to be sold, was a glass skull. The morning of 11/22/63, it suddenly started leaking water. It didn’t stop until after she’d heard the news of JFK’s assassination.

Now, I’ve checked Google, and these are not urban legends. So. I wonder if the statues of Lincoln and Jefferson in DC underwent any phenomena.
