Aftermath scenes of smoking wrecked buildings. A fire truck drives by. People pick up broken glass in front of store windows and canned goods inside store. At apartment building, sliding doors opening onto balconies have shattered. Family looks at the mess inside their home. Portions of roadway are missing. | |
