Its all on tv3 news. I know its motoring but us boys should be informed.

Bloody awfull mate, motoring dont matter at this time. bad bad news.

The cathedral is well and truly shagged now. Showed pictures of parts of it falling off. Apparently there was actually 2 earthquakes. Only heard 6.3 so far though

skyline_guy_r34, Feb 22, 12:06pm
And I think the very important thing to note is the depth of it. It was 6.3 but at only a depth of 5kms it is very shallow so creates quite a lot of damage

A Porsche Cayenne crushed by rubble.

its better looking now then

And yeap gunhand is right. Theres been multiple deaths reported.

This earthquake is considered to be worse than the one in september even though it is smaller in magnitude.

Hilary Barry on the news is fighting back tears. Ive heard of two metro buses in the city being crushed under falling buildings and to add insult to injury they are now saying they are out of ambulances to help people.

Yes very, then theres dipshits that make useless unhelpfull and quite pathetic comments as we see above. God the intelligence of some amaze me.

van parked on street was flatten they believe a backpacker in it not the place to be. Lot more damage this time.

Bumma! Almost worth putting something more explanative.

Hope all the petrolheads like zeph are OK.
Guess they can't let us know at the moment.

Yup.Lets hope 'our' regulars are all OK.You just can't be sorry enough for those poor folks.I love Christchurch and its people and even though I have no family down there, very, very sad and upset about this.

Maybe the best we can do up here is try a few fundraising events.

I'll happily donate 25% of the profits from our share of the May 7th Hampton Downs race meeting, in conjunction with Rally NZ, for starters.

A most uncalled-for comment considering the extent of the disaster and the massive death toll so far.
