Earthquake damage - Avon River

Images, eqnz.chch.2010

Aftermath of September 4th Earthquake in Canterbury (area covers Christchurch City), NZ. Cracks alongside Avon river.

The center of the river has slumped and the two banks have moved about a meter closer together which caused this footbridge to be so twisted. There is a suggestion that this be left as a memorial to the earthquake.
