Incredible image of a bombed London building mid-collapse, 1941
This is the international headquarters for the Salvation Army the day after the German night raid of London on May 10, 1941. The photo of the building’s entire front falling in one piece was taken by the police after the area had been deemed “reasonably safe.”
