photos - destruction - part 5

This is an old historical school building that is no more. It hasn't been announced yet but it looks like the school year in Port-au-Prince has been lost as so many schools have been destroyed.

Some buildings are standing in the downtown area. Structural inspections will have to be made.

People were sifting through the rubble at this building.

A lot of people were walking around. It was difficult for vehicles to get around all the rubble in some places.

So much damage in so little time. Some people say it took only 5 seconds for buildings to fall. That is how forceful the earthquake was.
