Blake, (Brisluminous), just sent me a link to the University of Newcastle (Australia), where a number of photographs of the (now defunct) E.L.M.A. plant can be viewed. Lots of the pictures are of visiting dignitaries and a not particularly interesting, but the ones of the 1989 earthquake damage to the plant are interesting.
Newcastle, the city north of Sydney where the suburb of Hamilton is located is a coal mining, and steel smelting industrial city, or at least it was then. Old mine tunnels perforate the ground beneath the city and in 1989 there was a magnitude 5.5 (Richter) earthquake, persumably because of the mining and underground colapses because Australia is far from any tectonic plate boundary.
A returned srevicemen's club collapsed killing a few 10s of people and this was the most concentrated loss of life in this event, but the lamp plant, about 5Km away to the south west was damaged too.....
