I know they didn't, but it's in such good condition after that, it almost looks like you could just dust it off, set it back upright, and it would be all good.
What's crazy is how long the toppled highway keeps its shape and direction, it just goes all the way to the horizon. Squinting at the thumbnail I thought I was looking at the wall of a brutalist building.

If you drive fast enough, you could still use it.

By collapsing in such an “orderly” way, did this help save lives of people in the cars?
farmgineer@nord.pub · 3 pts · 92d
Probably not. Anyone under the edge is crushed. Anyone on the road surface is tumbled and probably thrown off. I guess it's better than pancaking.

Now that's a picture... What the heck!?

Is this picture taken at an angle or is it a straight picture of the highway at an angle??

The buildings on the right side of the picture are upright.
This highway must've been on pillars and fell sideways.
Edit: here is a pic from a different angle:

That explains why it looks so clean, thanks!

Now I see where the latest Mario Kart games got their track level inspirations from.

Anyone else impressed that the road segments stayed intact?

I wonder if it was designed to fail in that way in an earthquake.
bizarroland@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 92d
I think they're just saying it was an earthquake to hide over the fact that there was an incredibly awesome anime battle.
SparroHawc@piefed.world · 6 pts · 92d
Well you see, the problem was that the front fell off.
