More Photos of Central Italy Earthquake

  Covered: In what looks like an image from Pompeii, the town of Amatrice is seen smothered in grey dust and rubble in this aerial photo 

Total disaster...


  Dante's Inferno: Agostino Severo, a Rome resident on holiday, described Amatrice as looking like 'Dante's Inferno'. 'People crying for help, help. Rescue workers arrived after one hour... one and a half hours,' he said

  Catastrophic: Only a few buildings appeared to still be in tact amidst the absolute devastation in the town of Amatrice 

  Collapse: The Mayor of Amatrice described how 'the roads in and out of town are cut off. Half the town is gone - there are many dead'
  Still standing: This red brick building is one of the only remaining structures in the historical part of the town of Amatrice
