Holy shit…
The before and after sliders are the saddest thing I've seen in a while.
~~It shows, the weapons they used really flatted the area, there's no chance of surviving this, if you were hiding somewhere within.~~
Edit: Ok, the layer of sand/soil over everything makes the whole seem much flatter than it is. When you zoom in, you can notice some buildings almost invisible but still standing. When zoomed out a little, they're gone. But even so...
I needed to cross check in Egypt zu see how the buildings look like as reference.
Still lots of destruction.
That's insane.
It should however be noted that the new image is taken at a different angle and likely time of day. So the destruction looks exaggerated. If you look closely you can find several buildings that look destroyed at first glance, are actually intact but just hard to spot.
