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.
