It is extremely rare to see pictures immediately before, during, and after a major event like this.

A wedding photographer was at a wedding when the quake hit, he took a picture of the church literally minutes before the earthquake hit and one right after the quake.

Interesting to see it (hey, I'm a seismology fanatic).

Wow terrifying photos. Half of the church just collapsed. The worst thing that can happen in a wedding.

Yes, but also the best thing that could have happen did, according to the story it seems like everyone with the wedding was OK afterwards.

The devastation in China is indescribable. According to the Olympic committee bylaws, if China is unable to provide for the safety of the upcoming games, the Olympics are held at the country that hosted them immediately prior; in this case, Athens, Greece. Now, don't expect Greece to be ready for something like this either
