The disaster, which put the whole world on the ears! Architectural monuments of Nepal before and after an earthquake.

No sooner had the world recover from the eruption of the volcano Calbuco Chile as humanity struck another devastating natural disaster, which literally shook the whole world, if not, then a large part of it. This Saturday in Nepal held a powerful earthquake of magnitude 7, 8 points, which claimed thousands of lives, destroyed many historical monuments and deprived ordinary people homeless.
