Nepal earthquake: a year later

About a year ago, a terrible earthquake occurred in Nepal, the magnitude of which reached 7.3 points. The epicenter was located 82 kilometers from Kathmandu, the country's capital. About 48 tremors were recorded per day.

The outcome of such a powerful cataclysm was terrifying: 9 thousand dead, over 22 thousand wounded and more than 800 thousand destroyed buildings.

Let's see what the capital of Nepal now looks like and what it looked like before the disastrous earthquake came here.

The Buddhist temple center Swayambhunath on the outskirts of the capital after the incident was partially destroyed.

So this place in Kathmandu looked like on May 1, 2015, and below is a photo showing what it has become now.

On April 26 last year, this section of the road was in good condition, but the earthquake left terrible faults on it, which remain there until now.

The first picture was taken on April 27, 2015, the second - on March 1, 2016. As can be seen in the photographs, only unsuitable ruins remained from many houses.

The ancient new city of Bhaktapur, located east of Kathmandu, also got a lot of fun. This place is rich in outstanding architectural monuments, some of which are now destroyed by a cataclysm.

This square is now littered with bricks, boards and fallen trees.

Before the earthquake, people lived here, but now there are only fragments left.
