This is a shot of a building collapsed at midnight while all the residents were asleep and that was due to poor engineering supervision. This happens where there are hot rumors about the possible powerfull earth quake in Tehran.

This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) The title is confusing, but it's not affecting the score for this photo because I understand it enough.
2) The lighting is kind of blah, the sky is overexposed and bright, but the building (especially next to this gray website background) is uninteresting.
3) The repetition is nice for a different challenge, but for a newspaper it would have been cropped to only one or two rooms to get the point across, because that's all that is needed.
4) On the otherhand I like the overall composition, perhaps a more central position between the two to make the angles more even, it just feels kind of off...
Score: 5
Your headline doesn't jibe with the photo which indicates quite a bit of destruction. It is a bit obscure for photojournalism which requires clarity and immediacy for impact. This looks a bit soft focus to me. It is an interesting subject but needs a better headline. I feel kind of neutral about the composition. It records the destruction of this building but not in a way that draws me in for very long.
