Eeek! Look at some of the cracks in PacMed where Matt
Works. (Hard to see
when the images are this small, and not great photos to
begin with, but click through to the full size ones and
you'll get the idea. These are pretty big, and the
building is covered in them. The structure is sound they
tell us of course..)
Things got worse the
further up the building you went. These are some shots
Bosco took of the higher floors where... well, much worse
things happened.
The monitors aren't
normally on the floor :)
A part of the 13th floor wall basically fell off altogether. Wow I'm glad I wasn't there. Here's where the wall landed...
This is the same hole from the outside. Eeek.
All the Amazonians outside
US1 directly after the quake hit. The building was
evacuated to check the structure was fully intact. Here's
some of the exterior damage:
This is a picture of one of
the building tops that fell off in Pioneer Square. The
older buildings were much harder hit.
Just opposite the exhibition center - about a minute's
walk from Rachael's office
The library
Occidental & Lander
Cafe in Pioneer Square
Pioneer Square - check out that hole!
This was a road!
Starbuck's headquarters
And Starbuck's logo
Buckled pavements (this picture's from Olympia which is
south of Seattle and closer to the epicenter)
There's a bunch more images of PacMed on Bosco's website here.
