Salt Mine Collapse | International Metropolis

Quote:
Up today is a Wire Photo from the Associated Press dated February 20, 1954. This one bears a stamp on the back from the “Reference Department – Detroit Times”.

The caption reads:


BUILDINGS GO UNDER IN SALT MINE CAVE IN
Water area in the foreground shows where buildings of Canadian Industries Ltd., are sinking after collapse of an old salt mine 1,000 feet below the surface. Slow sinking of buildings continues today. Detroit can be seen in background beyond the Detroit River. (see wire story)
This photo was taken in the area north east of Prospect and Sandwich Street in the far west end. It’s amazing to see what a sprawling complex was once located there.

I think it was a post about a messed up translation, happened to be on a religious building.

No, not at all.

comment about a religion
Where is there a comment about religion in my post? I posted an image of a sign... which had a bad translation

Please point out where I made a comment about religion...

Quote:
comment about a religion
I'm still looking....nope, have not found where I commented on religion.

The picture I posted and the commentary I supplied with it were observations regarding how phrases from other languages get a bit bent and twisted when translated to English.

The picture by joescoolcustms I commented on was 100% political

The owner of this site made a place for you all to play... just pointing that out..

PARF

Go Play there.....

No

You posted a picture and commentary that is 100% political.

I posted a retort that there is an area on this site where that sort of thing is welcomed..

Then I attached a picture of a sign where there is a translation from another language...

I posted a picture that was not political.

I also posted a question, not commentary.
