432 notes life: One of the worst quakes ever to strike Iran erupted from a large fault in the country’s northwestern Qazvin Province in September 1962. Measuring more than 7 on the Richter Scale, the Bou’in-Zahra earthquake caused catastrophic damage and killed more than 12,000 men, women and children. Tens of thousands of homes were destroyed, and countless livestock, a key source of both food and income in the region, were lost. While not as lethal as other Iranian earthquakes across the centuries — some of which left five and even ten times as many people dead — the September 1, 1962, Bou’in-Zahra quake was nevertheless a shattering event. Here, 50 years later, LIFE.com commemorates the disaster itself, while paying tribute to those killed. In photographs that, at times, are as intimate as they are powerful, LIFE’s Paul Schutzer chronicled the aftermath of the quake, capturing the fear and despair — as well as the magnificent fortitude — of survivors who, incredibly, were already working to rebuild amid the ruins, even as they mourned their dead.
