Nice semantics

From your statements you are suggesting that:

a. One knows at one point the mountain was physically present.

b. The mountain is no longer physically present (as a mountain).

c. The observer did not see the transition from there being a mountain present to the lack of mountain being present.

So, one really couldn't know if it was destroyed, went out of existance, beamed onto a UFO, made invisible by some secret government project, etc. One can only say that it is no longer part of the present sky-line.
