    You see these kinds of precariously decrepit infrastructure in apocalypse media a lot, and the characters living in these worlds always seem to have no qualms crawling all around and under it.

    Personally you couldn’t pay me enough to go near a skyscraper that got toppled over by bombs or what have you, and is leaning up precariously against another building, I don’t care how long it’s sat there.

      I think it’s a representation of the the depression and desperation of living / having survived such a cataclysm. You’ve lost so much, your will to live is also going. So you tempt fate. It completes the harsh visual picture with deeper, emotional strokes.
