Yuck, that's awful someone123. And something I've never heard a word about until now.
One more - a disaster skyline.
This is St. John's, Newfoundland, immediately after the Great Fire of 1892 (one of many great fires that razed the city):
From a witness:
"When morning broke the thick clouds of smoke still ascended from the burning ruins, and it was hours before it had cleared sufficiently to admit a view of the track of the desolating scourge. A walk through the deserted streets demonstrated that the ruin was even more complete than seemed possible at first. Of the whole easterly section, scarcely a building remained… of the costly and imposing structures and public buildings which were the pride and glory of the people, scarcely a vestige remained; and St. John's lay in the morning as a city despoiled of her beauty, her choicest ornaments, presenting a picture of utter desolation and woe."
