Another aftershock in Christchurch

So the news tonight is that another aftershock has his Christchurch. At 5.3 on the richter scale, it's not the biggest, but will of course have caused more damage, in particular to people's faith that this will all come to and end.

Word has it that the Strategy building in Victoria Street is now on a lean, and the surrounding area is closed. I guess if it doesn't come down of it's own accord, it will soon be persuaded.

There is still a very big list of those up for partial demolition, or "make safe"... the destruction still does not cease to amaze me. What I'm also surprised at is the amount of relatively new and large buildings in the list.
