A digitally manipulated photograph of twisted reinforcing rods amongst the rubble from the demolition of QEII. The photographer comments, "These rarely seen worms live in the pressurised earth under the foundations of buildings. They need a damp soil and be under at least 100 pounds of pressure per square inch. After the destructive force of an earthquake they swiftly rise to the surface through gaps in the rubble. Unfortunately they quickly die and then crystallise as hard as iron in the dry low pressure air".
Twisted reinforcing rods tangled in a pile of rubble. The photographer comments, "It is a horrible sight when a transformer runs out of electricity. Anyone got any jumper cables?".

They are using the same equipment as used for blowing up rock faces to mend them".
