On the front page of nytimes.com -

"Some pretty amazing before-during-and-after photographs of the devastating May 12 earthquake in China have surfaced, photos that exist because of the timing of the quake — in midafternoon, when several newlywed couples happened to be having their wedding photos taken near the town of Bailu."

Amazingly none of the wedding couples or photographers were hurt. The photos are very moving - it is amazing what they captured in those few seconds. I can't imagine what it would like to be caught in that kind of terrible tragedy.
