Few places provide the opportunity to see the aftermath of a violent natural calamity.
The town of Beichuan is one of them.
Among these were 1,300 children when a large populated school collapsed.
Condition was further aggravated by landslides that buried the town under several stories worth of mud.
Today, Beichuan appear frozen in time, its crumbling buildings preserved almost exactly as they fell.
Many of the buildings appear much as they did only a few minutes after the earthquake struck.
