    I know they didn’t, but it’s in such good condition after that, it almost looks like you could just dust it off, set it back upright, and it would be all good.

    By collapsing in such an “orderly” way, did this help save lives of people in the cars?

      Probably not. Anyone under the edge is crushed. Anyone on the road surface is tumbled and probably thrown off. I guess it’s better than pancaking.

    Well you see, the problem was that the front fell off.

    Is this picture taken at an angle or is it a straight picture of the highway at an angle??

      The buildings on the right side of the picture are upright.

      This highway must’ve been on pillars and fell sideways.

      Edit: here is a pic from a different angle:

        What’s crazy is how long the toppled highway keeps its shape and direction, it just goes all the way to the horizon. Squinting at the thumbnail I thought I was looking at the wall of a brutalist building.

    I think they’re just saying it was an earthquake to hide over the fact that there was an incredibly awesome anime battle.
