31 Before-and-After Photos of Human-Made and Natural Disasters

Today, a photo of a forest in Western Hungary is going viral because of what appears to be an optical illusion. The bottom half of each tree is covered in red, and that red comes up to precisely the same height for all of them. Despite looking Photoshopped, the image actually comes from the aftermath of a 2010 accident at the Ajkai Timföldgyár alumina, an aluminum oxide plant. A corner wall of a waste-retaining pond broke, releasing a torrent of toxic red sludge down a local stream. That stream then flooded much of the nearby area, coating everything from foliage to houses in a red hue. 


The aftermath of that disaster is pretty striking, but it is hardy the most destructive disaster in human history. A few of those are included on this collection of before and after photos; showcasing the harrowing destruction both humans and mother nature can cause.
