New Zealand Christchurch Earthquake Crisis
 

On the 22 of February 2011 a massive earthquake devastated the New Zealand city of Christchurch in the CMD, toppling tall office buildings at the height of the workday and killing at least 65 people.

Fire and rescue crews said their resources were overwhelmed as they struggled to cope with large numbers of people injured and trapped in the rubble. Helicopters were used to douse some fires and a crane was called in to rescue workers from the roof of a high-rise office tower.

The 6.3-magnitude earthquake was the second in five months for the city, which came through a 7.1-magnitude quake in September without loss of life. But seismologists said this one struck closer to the city and much closer to the surface, making it far more intense.

300 are Confirmed missing and familys are being torn apart from the many lost in this terrible quake.

This is terrible, what are your opinions on this disaster.

Erm...

Sorry, about that.

How terrible.

It really sad when the mayor said, that he wasnt going to continue search parties in this office building because he was sure that everyone was dead there.:fuzsad:

Were there any sheep killed?

But seriously, this is a terrible thing to happen. It's just terrible.

So much death this year, strangely enough.

Makes you wonder what other disasters will happen, or what African country will rebel next.

Update: Another 20 confirmed dead.

Absolutely terrible.

Its always terrible when a earthquake happends :(

How terrible.

you fucking cunts.

We're terrible.

I'm terrific.

You're terrible.

I wonder if Global warming has anything do with all these Disasters?

Youtube's home page:

I wonder if the city sitting on the boundaries of tectonic plates has anything to do with it? Na.

I hope Leto is okay.

Everyone else, too

I absolutely love how 28 seconds in there's a girl (?) just walking on the sidewalk with a big smile. That's the right attitude to have!

Regarding the disaster itself, there's not much to say. The earth shook, buildings fell, people died. built it all back up life goes on.

Not for everyone, it doesn't.

Well obviously!

Update: 133 confirmed dead and 300 missing.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that an extremely old historic church gets completely leveled by a natural disaster in a town called Christchurch? Probably. Moving on.

What a terrible, terrible tragedy. Really... that's terrible.

It was pushing it when I made that terrible joke again.

You an the 5 people to post it before you have just been beating a dead horse.

But really, this is terrible.

Someone didn't pass Geography.

God must really hate those people. Either that or there was a homosexual among them.

obviously! i mean, you didn't actually say that in your post, but obviously!

Obviously.

It's obvious!
