Overview
Hawke's Bay earthquake - view of a bridge in the aftermath of the earthquake; the first section of it is leaning heavily towards the water (ie it has toppled over). Two people are in sight - a man on a bicycle is visible on the bridge and a woman is sitting on the rock-covered landscape at a position close to the bridge.
