Recovery seems to have barely begun nearly two years after the earthquake of 25 April 2015 that devastated Nepal. In some villages in the Kathmandu valley workers are working by hand to remove ruble and dig out destroyed buildings. About 9,000 people were killed and another 22,000 injured by the earthquake. The epicenter of the earthquake was east of the Gorka district.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 06 AUGUST 2015 - KATHMANDU, NEPAL: A sign announcing an "Earthquake Sale" at a store that sells hiking and trekking supplies to tourists in Kathmandu. Tourism, which accounts for about 8% of the Nepal economy, has virtually collapsed since the earthquake in April causing more damage to the Nepali economy. The areas most heavily damaged, historic sites in the Kathmandu valley and trekking trails in the Himalaya Mountains, are the most popular tourist areas and the earthquake struck in the middle of the tourist high season. The Nepal Earthquake on April 25, 2015, (also known as the Gorkha earthquake) killed more than 9,000 people and injured more than 23,000. It had a magnitude of 7.8. The epicenter was east of the district of Lamjung, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi). It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake. The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing at least 19. The earthquake also set off an avalanche in the Langtang valley, where 250 people were reported missing. Hundreds of thousands of people were made homeless with entire villages flattened across many districts of the country. Centuries-old buildings were destroyed at UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley, including some at the Kathmandu Durbar Square, the Patan Durbar Squar, the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the Changu Narayan Temple and the Swayambhunath Stupa. Geophysicists and other experts had warned for decades that Nepal was vulnerable to a deadly earthquake, particularly because of its geology, urbanization, and architecture.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 23 APRIL 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Buddhist monks walk across Sanam Luang with the Grand Palace in the background. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam (and later Thailand) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. The present monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), currently resides at Chitralada Palace, but the Grand Palace is still used for official events. Several royal ceremonies and state functions are held within the walls of the palace every year. Construction of the palace began on 6 May 1782, at the order of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. Throughout successive reigns, many new buildings and structures were added, especially during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). By 1925 the king, the Royal Family and the government were no longer permanently settled at the palace, and had moved to other residences. The palace complex is roughly rectangular and has a combined area of 218,400 square metres (2,351,000 sq ft), surrounded by four walls. It is situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River at the heart of the Rattanakosin Island, today in the Phra Nakhon District. The Grand Palace is bordered by Sanam Luang and Na Phra Lan Road to the north, Maharaj Road to the west, Sanamchai Road to the east and Thai Wang Road to the south. The Grand Palace is made up of numerous buildings, halls, pavilions set around open lawns, gardens and courtyards. Its asymmetry and eclectic styles are due to its organic development, with additions and rebuilding being made by successive reigning kings over 200 years of history. It is divided into several quarters: the Temple of the Emerald Buddha; the Outer Court, with many public buildings; the Middle Court, including the Phra Maha Monthian Buildings, the Phra Maha Prasat Buildings and the Chakri Maha Prasat Buildings; the Inner Cou

  • 06 DECEMBER 2007 -- PHOENIX, AZ: A US Airways flights comes in for a landing at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. Phoenix is US Airways corporate headquarters and one of the airline's principal hubs. Sky Harbor International Airport is on the edge of downtown Phoenix, in the middle of the Phoenix metropolitan area. It is one of the largest airports in the country with more than 1,400 flights daily. The airport's proximity to downtown though, less than five miles from the city center, is both a blessing and a curse. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the airport from downtown, but a proposed 510 foot tall building proposed in downtown, near the airport flight path, has raised safety concerns. The Federal Aviation Administration wants the development capped at 355 feet. Similar concerns about a proposed football stadium in Tempe, which borders the east side of the airport, scuttled that project and led to the stadium being built in Glendale, about 30 miles from the airport.

  • 06 DECEMBER 2007 -- PHOENIX, AZ: A Southwest Airlines plane lands at Sky Harbor Airport. Sky Harbor International Airport is on the edge of downtown Phoenix, in the middle of the Phoenix metropolitan area. It is one of the largest airports in the country with more than 1,400 flights daily. The airport's proximity to downtown though, less than five miles from the city center, is both a blessing and a curse. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the airport from downtown, but a proposed 510 foot tall building proposed in downtown, near the airport flight path, has raised safety concerns. The Federal Aviation Administration wants the development capped at 355 feet. Similar concerns about a proposed football stadium in Tempe, which borders the east side of the airport, scuttled that project and led to the stadium being built in Glendale, about 30 miles from the airport.

  • 23 APRIL 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Buddhist monks walk across Sanam Luang with the Grand Palace in the background. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam (and later Thailand) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. The present monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), currently resides at Chitralada Palace, but the Grand Palace is still used for official events. Several royal ceremonies and state functions are held within the walls of the palace every year. Construction of the palace began on 6 May 1782, at the order of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. Throughout successive reigns, many new buildings and structures were added, especially during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). By 1925 the king, the Royal Family and the government were no longer permanently settled at the palace, and had moved to other residences. The palace complex is roughly rectangular and has a combined area of 218,400 square metres (2,351,000 sq ft), surrounded by four walls. It is situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River at the heart of the Rattanakosin Island, today in the Phra Nakhon District. The Grand Palace is bordered by Sanam Luang and Na Phra Lan Road to the north, Maharaj Road to the west, Sanamchai Road to the east and Thai Wang Road to the south. The Grand Palace is made up of numerous buildings, halls, pavilions set around open lawns, gardens and courtyards. Its asymmetry and eclectic styles are due to its organic development, with additions and rebuilding being made by successive reigning kings over 200 years of history. It is divided into several quarters: the Temple of the Emerald Buddha; the Outer Court, with many public buildings; the Middle Court, including the Phra Maha Monthian Buildings, the Phra Maha Prasat Buildings and the Chakri Maha Prasat Buildings; the Inner Cou
