@Puc I would have a hard time telling for sure vs. these images since they are new angles. If some were identical angles I might be able to compare images. I can't tell for sure but the back of 4 may be worse.

@UKVal they must be somewhat old. The close up of 4 shows the upper corners of the side concrete wall frame still there. That was removed sometime in late 2011

@Ian the back end of building 4 does seem to be pulled in more than it was. I think it has broken more. We did see a shift after a previous hard quake over the summer where the back caved in more. I was able to get 2 same angle shots of the back to compare that time.

4 back section. circled broken beams. line shows off vertical

this one looks like the back may be more broken apart.
by lillymunster 1/15/2012 11:18:02 PM

@Ian yes that would be the NE corner. I went back and looked at old unit 4 images. Hard to tell if there is a major change due to photo angles. These images were likely taken before the new years quake so things could have changed.

@Ian the same "airplane" bullshit being repeated again.

Ex-SKF mentions that the stone may not have been the only culprit. There have been other instances of radioactive concrete because sewage ash was used in making concrete blocks or concrete. IIRC there was a condo in Hong Kong that had radioactive wall. There was a city in IIRC Wyoming (or Idaho) where scrap from a uranium mine ended up in sidewalks and other parts of town and became a big clean up hazard.
