@Quimliqer Yeah... I question this too. I would like to see the "before" picture. Because I can't imagine steel bars bending in this shape by tremors...

@Kwek00 In a quake that strong, the earths surface shifts! This is completely possible!

@Quimliqer I'm still seriously sceptical about this particulair picture.
@Kwek00 This appears to be same bend from different angle. Like the other, telephoto makes it more dramatic.

@ElwoodBlues Then it's quite amazing. Probably had to do with the fact that the steel is attached to those concrete blocks in so many places. Otherwise, I don't think you ever get a bend like that in this kind of situation.
