So, you are saying that the post-earthquake photographs show the buildings 50 meters from where the pre-earthquake photographs show them, but there is no difference in the location or appearance of the terrain? Unless the buildings in question are on wheels, and might have rolled to their new location, it seems unlikely that a landslide strong enough to displace buildings by 50 meters would leave no visible traces other than displaced buildings.

Looking at a sat-image you don´t know if not all of that photo is 50 or 200 meters off unless you are on the ground to compare. On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 4:51 PM, John F.
