Beautiful church! It's really too bad! What was the name of one of our snaps guys living there?! I'm sure he moved away at some time!

My brother was there 3 days earlier. Incredible stroke of luck to not be there when the earthquake hit the city.

Very sad to see all the destruction from this latest earthquake :/
I just hope the death toll doesn't rise much more.

Very very sad, death toll rising too :(
Went to Christchurch in 2005 and stood in Cathederal square, beautiful place

a shame..

isn't there video of this collapse (there may be but i haven't done a search). i think of 9/11 and the planes hitting the towers and both caught on video..

anyway, always sad to see beautiful architecture come crumbling down
