Collapsed School Buildings in Beichuan After the 2008 Earthquake
Preserved ruins of collapsed buildings in Beichuan County, Sichuan, following the magnitude 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008.
The 12 May 2008 earthquake killed nearly 87,000 people across Sichuan, including thousands of schoolchildren crushed in sub-standard "tofu-dreg" classrooms. Independent citizen investigations by parents and volunteers such as Ai Weiwei and Tan Zuoren were subsequently suppressed by state authorities.
