Sensitive China Quake Photo Removed from Exhibit
AP’s Cara Anna reports from Juyuan, China, via the Washington Post:
In a town where parents are grieving for the nearly 300 children killed when last month’s earthquake toppled a middle school, a photograph hinting at shoddy school construction has disappeared from a public exhibition.
The image showed a hand clutching a twisted piece of steel rebar, no thicker than a pencil. The photo was taken at the ruins in Juyuan of a middle school, one of 40 that collapsed in the May 12 quake.
The photo was featured prominently among a collection of quake artifacts when it opened last week.
