Resilience Felt in Christchurch



Any disaster tests a people's resilience.
Christchurch city aims to be the most #earthquake safe city in the world. Click for source of News.

Last week, I visited Christchurch on my to the airport. Yes the reports are right. There is an eerie feeling.  A feeling of sadness.

I remember Christchurch as one of the most beautiful cities I have visited in the world.

On this cloudy and rainy day, I sense people's distraught, people's pain.

I do hope Christchurch will be rebuilt very soon most of all, for the sake of its people.

Sad news for New Zealand. A lot of damage and lives lost in it's beautiful garden city. Another massive earthquake has hit the city just 5 months after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in September.
Multiple aftershocks are recorded at magnitude 5. 65 people have died.
Australia has expressed support and provided assistance. Hospitals are open for emergencies and we're requesting everyone to save unnecessary phone calls so that people in emergency situations can call through.



Health officials advise people to boil their drinking water.
The whole city is being evacuated.

The earthquake happened middle of the day when people are at work... a lot of people have been trapped in their buildings. Cars have been swayed side to side and people were screaming.

More news will follow.
