It is very sad to see all the places you know and love, the places that you have grown up in and known all your life, reduced to rubble. So much heritage and history lost as well. Me and my close family are ok, but I thing my aunty and uncles place is pretty totaled by the sound of it.

I can't believe the news of what is happening in my old home town. I'm thinking of everyone down there and hope you all come through ok.

Ian's ok, I spoke to him on the phone.

by **Adrian Brausch** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 5:07 pm

glad Ian is ok,..Connor sorry to hear about your Aunty and uncles place. Glad you and your family are ok mate. No word on Marty yet..

It's a disaster no doubt.

Sending best wishes over the pond to our NZ customers and friends. I hope you are all safe and escaped the carnage and damage mother earth has unleashed on you, again

THis ones a big punch in guts and I can't imagine what the guys down there are going through. Best wishes to you all and I hope your all ok.

Aunty and Uncle are staying with us tonight.

65 dead apparently, bob parker is saying it could double as I write this. Worst disaster for NZ since Erebus. RNZAF and USAF are offering their aircraft for medical transports, but they won't be going anywhere until the airport opens again.
I think Marty lives up the top end of the Waimak, but I hope he's ok nonetheless

.

How did john key get to Christchurch with the airspace closed?

The airport has remained open for emergency flights. There have also been medical evac flights to the other cities.

Found out thtat my flat in Gloucester St (2 blocks from Cathedral Square) is pretty badly damaged, was due to move in in about a month

Ditto to what's been said above, my thoughts are with those affected, I can only hope I never have to go through something like that.

My thoughts are with all those effected by this.
If I didn't have work commitments that can not be bailed on, I would fly my once active carpenter ass down there to lend a hand.

Hi,

Good to hear Ian and all the others are OK at this time.

I have relatives in Rangiora that I have not be able to contact, but not too worried
as they seem a little bit away from the epicentre.

Glad to hear our OZ PM has a Hercules load of special rescue experts on the way.

Hang in there guys and the thoughts of all OZ simmer are with you tonight

Cheers
