The right pier is gone. The earthquake motions heaved and bent everything in its path. Containers were tossed aside.

Large heavy port equipment were tossed out of position as the pier collapsed.

Workers on the top of the port equipment are like ants in the distance. Looks like dangerous work!

The port suffered major damage. I had read of the damage to the port. To actually see how the earthquake damaged the port was amazing.

I didn't see this type of road damage caused by the earthquake anywhere here in Port-au-Prince except at the port.
