We've all seen cartoons in which rows of library shelves are tumbled like dominos, but in librarian Klara Kim's Flickr photostream, there are actual pictures of the aftermath. There is certainly an element of hilarity to them — albeit uncomfortable — but the comments on the photo betray the tragedy: "Most [books] are intact, but some were caught in between shelves and got ripped apart. I would have taken photos of that as well, but there were only so many moments I could stand around taking pictures before I felt like a morbid jerk that wasn't helping anybody."
(Thanks, Fipi Lele!)
