Christchurch, New Zealand has been smashed by another earthquake. Although this one was weaker than the one 5 months ago at 6.3 as compared to 7.1, it was closer to the surface and the effects are far worse. At least 65 people have lost their lives.
This is just awful. Another tragedy in what feels like the year of natural disasters. I was in Christchurch January before last and was much enamoured of what a beautiful place it is.
Their Prime Minister, John Key, has said "We may be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day". His counterpart here, Julia Gillard, has affirmed that whatever our friends across the Tasman need from us... we will get it to them.
