Firemen digging amid steel beams

picture

This is a scene of twisted, dark brown metal.

In the center three firemen in black uniforms with white helmets are standing, overshadowed by a large metal beam. To their left a colleguae is standing on some other rubble looking under another, much larger horizontal beam.

There are several beams that maybe 50 centimetres wide and four metres long. There is much dust. The ground looks to be covered with oversized giant shredded paper.
