Backyard igloo in Southie goes viral… then gets smashed.
Oh dear.
A backyard igloo in South Boston that went viral online has now been destroyed — and not by the weather.
A few weeks ago, we shared a video of Southie residents working to build a large igloo in their backyard.
The Instagram account belonging to Jack Tarca documented the nearly two-week journey to create the igloo and racked up a ton of views on social media. But on Friday, the igloo was destroyed by two people with sledgehammers.
According to the Boston Globe, neighbors saw two men break into the backyard and destroy the structure with sledgehammers and metal poles on Thursday while Tarca and his roommates were at work. Tarca told the Globe he will not file a police report.
