Earthquake damage in Armenia 1989
Earthquake damage. A group of US politicians visiting a damaged bread-baking factory in Armenia after the 1988 Spitak earthquake. The earthquake was a magnitude 6.9 event at a depth of just 10km that hit at 11.41 local time on 7 December 1988. It caused devastation in the town of Spitak with over 25, 000 deaths. Many scientists blame the poor construction of buildings made during the stagnation era of Premier Brezhnev. Photographed in January 1989

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck Armenia in 1988. A group of US politicians is seen visiting a bread-baking factory, now reduced to rubble and destruction. The magnitude 6.9 earthquake, occurring at a shallow depth of just 10km, hit the town of Spitak on December 7th, causing widespread devastation and claiming over 25,000 lives. The image serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by poor construction practices during the stagnation era under Premier Brezhnev. Many scientists attribute the high death toll to unsafe buildings that collapsed easily under seismic stress. Taken in January 1989, this photograph encapsulates both the physical damage inflicted upon Armenia and the international response it garnered. Amidst heaps of debris and twisted metal, these politicians bear witness to an entire industry brought to its knees. As we reflect on this scene from history's darkest chapters, let us remember not only those who lost their lives but also strive for better preparedness against future natural disasters. This photograph stands as a testament to human resilience and our collective responsibility towards constructing safer communities in an ever-changing world.
