    Amazing scenes. Christchurch has run out of ambulances, loading people on stretches in the back of 4WD. A man with blood gushing out of his head is there helping more serious....

    Terrible...

    GOd, Just heard a guy say there was people in the tower at the cathedral when it hit. Now it is just rumble, he suspects they are dead as they can't access it now.

    I know there is deaths, I just hope they are at a minimum. SO many trapped...

    i need an emergency kit but i can't actually afford one all at once. eep. half of nz went through a mad rush to get one after chch's last earthquake. my guess is the second half will do it this time.
  • pjfan31pjfan31 Posts: 7,335
    65, and that number is bound to climb.


    If it's not humans taking lives, it is mother natures... Can't win..

    Just saw that poor woman who was stuck on top of that building waiting to be taken down! Poor thing! And there was a lady stuck in the window of the Cathedral, she has a broken arm too! So scary seeing all those familiar buildings destroyed and those people so terrified! :(

    doompony and all of you New Zealanders be safe and take care of each other. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
  • doomponydoompony Wellington, NZ Posts: 4,501
    the footage of that woman being rescued made me cry like a baby. poor woman. that office building was horrendously damaged. and all those poor people are still trapped in there. and it's raining down there and cold. so horrible.

    the footage of all those people gathering in the parks is freaky too. you can see how that would be comforting though.

    the concert tomorrow night is going to be surreal for qotsa and the wellington audience.
