    Earthquake in Christchurch!

    I've just learned the terrible news about the earthquake that has hit Christchurch, New Zealand, today!

    My thoughts goes to all affected, and special thoughts to the members of this forum who lives in the area or otherwise are affected.

    Many regards,
    Frederik

    Just heard about this on the radio and was about to start a thread, but Frederick beat me to it. I heard there were already 65 dead. Trust all our members out there are safe. Our thoughts are with you all out there

    Yes, I think that our friend Colin aka J.H.C. lives in New Zealand. Has any body heard from him yet? I'm going to pm him to make sure he and his family are safe.

    Just been watching it on the TV, the amount of good people who are helping even when they need help themselves is astounding, and at the other end we have the scum bag looters I don't even get angry with this lot it is just what you expect from this type of person I do believe that 99% of the time they will never change they are born crims and have no place in any decent society.

    OK my rant is over

    There has been a rising number of deaths from New Zealand.
    My prayers go out to those people.

    Saw some footage on tv last night about this. Devastating. I hope they can save all who are trapped. Sad to see what happened to the cathedral.

    Glad that Colin is safe.
