New Zealand Earthquake Kills 65 People Sky News

Article Summary   by:SM THOMPSON     Original Author: skynews
ª
 
Sky News report that a devastating Earthquake has hit Christchurch New Zealand and it is believed that 65 people have died and possibly 30 more people have been injured.  There are shocking pictures of the Cathedral being toppled, knocked down in New Zealand and scenes of people being trapped in collapsed buildings.  Unfortunately the earthquake which hit Christchurch New Zealand was a 6.3 and the aftershocks apparently which hit New Zealand in the not too distant past were still being felt when this massive earthquake hit when all the workers, and shoppers were in town and it was at the height of the busy section of New Zealand Christchurch life.  Interestingly enough several friends are currently on holiday in New Zealand but because of the crisis it may not be possible to call in to see how they are if the country of New Zealand is in crisis.  Young Parents are also interviewed about the stress caused by the Earthquake in relation to the children/kids at school and concerns about the safety of the children at school in Christchurch, New Zealand.  Sky News New Zealand! Video footage .... excellent!
