65 dead and counting

So, the death toll from the latest Canterbury quake is starting to rise, and quickly too. 65 confirmed as of an hour ago. This will still go up more...

There are a few key buildings which have collapsed and caused the deaths, in particular the Pyne Gould Corporation (PGC) at 233 Cambridge Terrace, a 4-storey sixties building.
