Christchurch Eartquake 2011

Yesterday afternoon their was a catastrophic earthquake that rocked Christchurch. The Prime Minister Mr John Key declared February the 22nd New Zealand’s darkest day. At the epicentre,of the quake many buildings were demolished.

As the earthquake hit their was complete chaos, people were in shock ,crying And some people had died in their cars by falling debris. Buildings collapsed on people making it very hard to get out. They even had to amputate a mans leg to get him out of debris.

A lady had her skin in her hair and blood was all over her face. A lot of adults were frighted and were in shock. I hope that all the CHCH citizens can pull through this hard time and recover really quickly. christchurch-earthquake

  2. Waata,
    I am an EDM310 student at the University of South AL in Mobile, AL, USA. I heard about the earthquake. It is always sad when something like this happens. I'm sure it is a day you won't quickly forget. I still remember when 9/11 happened here. How close to the earthquake do you live? You did a fine job of writing about what happened. I have the same question as Darius, however, how do you feel about what happened and what you saw?
