The Death of Francis: The Bells of St. Peter's Wouldn't Ring
In the minutes after the death of Pope Francis was announced to the world, an incident occurred.
The staff of the St Peter's Factory pressed the M12 button on the panel in the sacristy of St Peter's Basilica, which activates the bells of the Vatican Basilica.
This command activates the central bell to announce the death of the Pope. But, unexpectedly, there was no sound.
When the staff climbed to the top to check what had happened, they discovered that the chain that activates the bell had broken.
It took five men to manually strike the bell and thus announce Francis' death to the world (video below).

Can you provide a source for this account? It's very compelling if its veracity can be established. I like to verify such things from several reliable sources first.
It is due to poor maintenance and control.
Who is responsible for all of this?
Everyone knows who manages it and how... nothing else needs to be said.
Don’t be silly—the malfunction was due to God’s active, interventional will. Bergoglio wasn’t pope, thus the bells (who have names) and serve the creator, refused to toll.
